Peter Frog sure can hop, and boy does he love Easter! So, he becomes Peter Easter Frog and hops along, passing out his own Easter eggs.  

While hopping along, he picks up some friends along the way. They help him carry his many eggs, hide them and pass them out.  

And then, all of a sudden, they come across the Easter Bunny.  

The Easter Bunny tells them what he thinks of them being his helpers, and the kindness Peter Easter Frog shows is the kind of kindness we need more of in the world.  

As you read along, you will surely be singing to the tune of “Peter Cotton Tail.”  

This is a wonderful book to read to your little ones during your Easter celebration. It’s light and funny and will bring a smile to your face no matter your age.  

It’s brand new and ready to be checked out.  

Come see us at the library. We have many new Easter and spring arrivals waiting just for you!
