Felt the story didn’t have enough material. The story could have been a bit longer and with more details

Like it and it’s a fun book. Wanted a bit more material in the book- felt short and not enough of a story telling

A lovely little story about Gertrude and her dancing frog George. I would definitely recommend it to someone else.

I like the book and its talks about dancing frog called George. They go around the world and meet famous people. It's a fiction story written by a Quentin Blake.

This book was quite interesting because I really liked the part where the frog jumped out of the burning building into the water bucket. I would recommend it someone else.
