The Book
This delightful fable originated from the Gunai/Kurnai First Nations people of Australia. Tiddalik is a thirsty, greedy frog who drinks up all the water in the land leaving the other animals ... none! The animals, if they are to survive, must figure out a way to get it back from him. Will their plan work and will Tiddalik learn that he has to share and think of others as well as himself?
The illustrations are colourful and many Australian animals are highlighted. Included at the end is a search-and-find page that asks kids to spot the platypus. I like that the author gives historical information in the "learn about the story" portion of the book also. I recommend this book.
