This Rock Is Mine (PB) Award-winning author by Kaye Umansky (author) and Alice McKinley (illustrator)

Friendship wins the day in this fabulously funny quarrel! Two frogs sit on an ordinary little rock. But . . . uh-oh! Both frogs think it’s their rock – and they really don’t want to share! The frogs fight and squabble furiously. But when a hungry heron swoops down, both frogs realise it’s time to find another rock . . . together! Kaye Umansky’s brilliantly simple rhyming story shows how two grumpy frogs go from fighting . . . to friendship (with lots of laughter along the way.) Alice McKinley’s hilarious illustrations bring to life every twist and turn of this wonderfully witty little drama.

Written in absolutely perfect rhyme, this story is a joy to read aloud.
Every parent and child will identify with these squabbling frogs.
An excellent (and very funny) lesson in how to resolve a quarrel!

Kaye Umansky is one of the UK’s best-loved children’s authors. She is a brilliant comic writer, and is the award-winning creator of the bestselling Pongwiffy fiction series. Her superb rhyming picture books have echoes of Dr Seuss. Alice McKinley’s illustrations are full of warmth and humour, and packed with clever details to spot.

This Rock Is Mine

One of the funniest books I have read. My three year old loved it. I've read it every night for the last week.
