The Fisherman and the Frog

This May 2014 REPTILES Facebook post went viral and inspired a book.

Now Angus James sent us an email informing us that his wife, author Amy James wrote a children’s book about a kind hearted fisherman and a resilient little frog. Inspired by Angus James’ true story, “The Fisherman and the Frog” is illustrated by Heather May Williams and tells the story of three little frogs who decide to jump across the river. And one of them ends up in a predicament that is remedied by a kind fisherman.

The book is available in hard cover as well as a Kindle version on Amazon and is a great read for children. Check the Amazon site for more.
