Frog and his friends are up for more adventures in this sixth installment of the Frog and Friends series.

In Book 6 of this engaging beginning reader series from acclaimed children's writer Eve Bunting, Frog helps his friend Raccoon investigate the strange scary sound that keeps her awake at night, and when a picnic at the big river nearly turns to tragedy, Frog is there to save the day.

Eve Bunting was born in a little town in Ireland called Maghera and she was brought up in the tradition of storytelling. Her mother started a library in their house and there were always books available to read. Most were poetry, which Eve loved. She also loved ghost stories and adventure stories; actually stories of all kinds. So she grew up, got married, had three children, and became a storyteller herself.Now Eve lives in California and writes books that tell stories. She has written a lot of books, more than 250, and hopes to write many more. Because storytelling is what she does. And what she loves to do.
