Australian tree frogs are common across northern and eastern Australia.

They're completely harmless and very calm around people. They do however, love to hang out in toilets. 

If nature calls, it's always a good idea to take a peek under the seat...just in case!  



This book struck the perfect balance between clever writing and beautiful illustrations. The story was fun and engaging, and the artwork brought it to life. Most importantly, the kids loved it—and that’s the best review a children’s book can get. It’s my gift of choice for kiddos.

Kiddos will love this book!

Fabulous book from cover to cover.

I have just received my copy today Vanessa, and I have to say it's FABULOUS. You and Emma have created a wonderfully funny story to read to little people...they will love the story, the rhyming, the humour and the colourful and beautifully done illustrations.

​​​This is such a charming children’s book. The story is playful and silly in the best way, with an adorable tree frog that kids will instantly love. The illustrations are absolutely beautiful and really bring the story to life. Every page feels warm and inviting. It’s a fun read that’s perfect for sharing with young readers and one they’ll want to revisit again and again. Can’t wait to see what Vanessa does next!
