From the land of sun and rolling waves, a grandma reads a pop-up book to her grandest of peeps to bring comfort to her soul and (hopefully), a bit of sunshiny happiness to her little people while we await our reunion on a couch nearby and more familiar....
One of the glorious acquisitions from the Borders Bookstore Blowout sale. A well-timed browse thru a bookstore gone bust. ..... At least in MY humble opinion.

Big Frog Can't Fit in...
She really wants to fit in. But how??
Will Someone PLEASE show her?
You see how poor frog doesn't fit in this book eh?
(Big frog is Canadian)
If only she were smaller she thought...
OR
More bendable perhaps?....
But... sadly, she is not.
And Big frog can't stand it!
Fortunately, Big Frog has a few fabulous little friends....
They are thoughtful and hopeful, as good friends generally are. They are scheming up a solution.
It puts a little smile on her face...
And here it is.
So Simple really.
Yeah. Just Make a Bigger Book!
Aren't friends wonderful?
