| Wide Mouth Frog goes to the zoo ISBN: 9780988394803 OCLC: 855266243 [Sunnycrest Press], [United States] : 2013. Tired of eating the bugs his mother feeds him every day, a young wide mouthed frog visits the zoo to find out what other animal mothers feed their babies, discovering in the process that what is good for other animals is not necessarily good for wide mouthed frogs and, to his horror, that he himself would make the perfect meal for one animal in particular. |
