About This Book

A young frog defies his cautious mother to visit a widow mouse, persuading a rat to accompany him. Their friendly call turns into a merry visit until a prowling cat and her kittens invade, killing the rat and mouse; the frog flees in terror and is later swallowed by a duck while trying to cross a brook. Told in brief, rhythmic episodes, the tale combines comic incident and repetition to convey consequences of youthful obstinacy and the risks of leaving a safe home.
