Will Pokko hear her father's voice when he calls her home? Pokko and the Drum is a story about art, persistence, and a family of frogs living in a mushroom.

Pokko is too cute! I love the sassy little frogs and their expressive faces. The art is so pretty and it's a perfect short bedtime story with only 1 or 2 lines per page. Already planning on buying another copy for friends!
