Welcome to Frog Town - come on in, there's lots to do! In Frog Town, toddlers will become part of this wonderful world by moving the magical mechanisms to help their fantastic frog hosts - Flo, Fiona, Freddy, Frankie and . . . Dave!

At the Frog Cafe, toddlers will use the robust board mechanisms to help Flo pour the coffee, squeeze the oranges with Fiona and help decorate the cupcake with Freddy. With 10 smooth mechanisms to push, pull or turn on every spread as well as a surprise mirror finish, this hilarious book is packed full of Frog Town fun!

Illustrator Alberto Lot has a unique, characterful style and a quirky sense of humour, making him the perfect person to create this series of books for toddlers, inspired by their love of imaginative play.

Little readers will love a visit to Frog Town: Cafe where they can help Flo pour some coffee, squeeze juice with Fiona and pop a cherry on a pie with Frankie! The bright, colourful illustrations are very appealing and each frog on the café team can be identified by the colour of their bow tie.

Each page has a slider to manipulate, allowing little ones to interact with the story. These are moved in different ways and little holes in the cardboard help small fingers have more control over them. The thick, robust card allows for smooth movements and stands up to many, many reads!

My little reading buddy, Esme, really enjoyed making Freddy wave goodbye and was delighted to see her face peeping back at her from the mirror hidden by the doughnut on the final page! She 'chatted' happily as we read the book, helping me turn each page and move each slider. Her enthusiasm for books and sharing stories is evident and her mum often sends me photos of Esme exploring them by herself. Perfect for inspiring imaginative play!
