I have an anthology of the Frog, Duck and Rabbit stories. They are brilliant stories which completely engage young readers and lovely from an adult point of view too. I go back to these again and again.

This book is a childhood favourite of mine. I still have the copy today. It is an old book with four short stories within it.

It focuses on three animals: Frog, Duck and Rabbit.

Each story is short and simple, each one with a problem thaty is solved in the end.
One story for example is about playing games, each game they play one of them is left out with one of them upset. At the end of the story they come up with a solution so everyone is happy.

I like this book becuase the characters are not 'perfect'. In one story Frog is selfish and in another Duck is jealous. It helps make them become relatable to children.

The book has a PSHE focus and a good starting point for discussion in EYFS and key stage 1.

These are fantastic little stories where the three friends have differences and work them out themselves. The pictures are wonderful, and often quite funny.

There are four "Frog, Duck and Rabbit" stories, which were available as a collection: "Duck Takes Off"; "Frog in the Middle"; "Rabbit Rambles On" and "Frog, Duck and Rabbit".

Not too fond of this one. It's a good book about friendship, but there was lots of name-calling, and I was uncomfortable reading it to my little one.
