Little Gems – We Are Not Frogs!
Michael Morpurgo, Sam Usher
Children’s literature legend Michael Morpurgo teams up with illustration star Sam Usher for a rollicking countryside adventure story, now in a Little Gems edition for more parents and children to share together. The frogs always beat the toads at long jump but the toads don't mind – anything for a quiet life. But then the children and Mutt the dog come in search of some good jumpers, and the toads see an opportunity to get their own back. Soon the poor frogs have been gathered up and put in an ice-cream tub, and they're hopping mad! Particularly suitable for struggling, reluctant or dyslexic readers aged 5+

The book was okay . There were some frogs and some toads. The toads were not good at jumping and the frogs were good at jumping. I will recommend this book.

It’s a funny story but it’s also weird. The frogs were funny and jumpy. The toads had warts.

Its interesting that people don't see the small insects that live in the grass even though they are distracted by reading or going anywhere, they should be careful not to step on them. Some people don't know the difference between a toad and a frog.

This book was very funny. It is about frogs and toads and toads can’t jump as far as frogs. The children and the dog Matt go and search for frogs.

The book is about a girl called Alice and a boy called jago who called the toads frogs. The chief toad would scream saying we are not frogs because they jump high. When Alice and Jacob found the toads they ran away and then they found them again. My favourite character is the chief toads because he was funny when saying we are not frogs. I would recommend this book to younger readers as there are less difficult words. I rate this book 5/5.

I thought it was a very surprising book at the end of the story because the two kids thought that their dog had eaten their frogs but when their grandma told the kids to look out the window their frogs were there! I also thought it was funny. I liked the chief toad the best. I would recommend this book to someone else.
