Product Overview

A big happy frog, a plump purple cat, a handsome blue horse, and a soft yellow duck parade across the pages of this book, brought to life through Eric Carle's flat, boldly colored collages. Paired with Bill Martin's singsong text, the animals become unforgettable images that beg to be read aloud again and again. It's a simple, rhythmic story built around color and repetition, the kind that little ones pick up quickly and love to echo back.
