When a curiously croaking stranger comes knocking at the door, Aunt
Josephine launches into a rambling tale about her lifelong pursuit of a
rare giant frog.
Eccentric Aunt Josephine poignantly ignores a stranger knocking at her
door as she tells her niece Sadie the story of her time in the jungles
of Peru, cataloguing amphibians for the scientific team of Admiral
Rodriguez. When the admiral's son was suddenly swallowed by a giant
frog, Aunt Josephine gave chase in a journey which took her around the
world.
In the tradition of Philip Stead and Caldecott Medalist Matthew
Cordell's previous collaborations Special Delivery and The Only Fish
in the Sea, this is a story full of rambunctious fun and sensationally
appealing artwork.
