Back Cover: First came a boy and his dog. Then they found a frog. Can a new turtle be a good friend too?

Mine: This is a great new series to me and of course it has frogs in it, so how can I not read it?

What a wonderful picture book and it is true picture book – no words. The illustrations are wonderful and help to tell the wonderful story. The boy goes fishing with his dog and frog and meet up with the turtle as he disrupted the fishing. The fishing doesn’t seem to go too well, but a new friend is made along the way.
