Book Description
Ribbit is a great, sword-wielding hero whose battles against evil are legendary in his small town of Lily Pad Hollow; at least in his mind he is. In reality, Ribbit is just a young frog with big dreams. When flies mysteriously stop coming to the Hollow, putting everyone in danger, Ribbit jumps at the opportunity to show just what he's made of. The only problem: no frog that has ever dared try to cross the cattail borders has ever returned. But that wasn't going to scare Ribbit away from fulfilling his dream of leaving the Hollow and returning a hero. His two best friends, Phinn and Croak, join him as he embarks on a thrilling adventure leaving his small town behind and traveling into the unknown. Along the way, the three frogs meet creatures beyond their wildest imagination and come face to face with an enemy more evil than any of Ribbit's imaginary foes. Will they be able to return the missing flies and live to tell the tale?

The President and the Frog
Author: Carolina De Robertis
Publisher: Vintage
ISBN: 0593312104
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 225
Book Description
A "sublime and gripping novel ... about hope: that within the world's messy pain there is still room for transformation and healing" (Madeline Miller, New York Times bestselling author of Circe), from the acclaimed author of Cantoras. “In the president’s excruciating (and sometimes humorous) encounters with his strangely healing frog ... De Robertis daringly invites us to imagine a man’s Promethean struggle to wrest control of his broken psyche under the most dire circumstances possible.” —The New York Times Book Review At his modest home on the edge of town, the former president of an unnamed Latin American country receives a journalist in his famed gardens to discuss his legacy and the dire circumstances that threaten democracy around the globe. Once known as the Poorest President in the World, his reputation is the stuff of myth: a former guerilla who was jailed for inciting revolution before becoming the face of justice, human rights, and selflessness for his nation. Now, as he talks to the journalist, he wonders if he should reveal the strange secret of his imprisonment: while held in brutal solitary confinement, he survived, in part, by discussing revolution, the quest for dignity, and what it means to love a country, with the only creature who ever spoke back—a loud-mouth frog. As engrossing as it is innovative, vivid, moving, and full of wit and humor, The President and the Frog explores the resilience of the human spirit and what is possible when danger looms. Ferrying us between a grim jail cell and the president's lush gardens, the tale reaches beyond all borders and invites us to reimagine what it means to lead, to dare, and to dream.

Jest for the Halibut
Author: Felix Hamilton Fellhauer
Publisher: iUniverse
ISBN: 0595181341
Category : Humor
Languages : en
Pages : 234
Book Description
More than fifty years ago, when I started collecting, and sometimes trying to write bits of humor, such as jokes, anecdotes, funny verse, cartoons, and epigrams. In the course of selling this type of material to publishers of house organs, newsletters, small newspapers and magazines, I branched out into other kinds of fillers; i.e., items editors could use to fill the blank part of a page in their publication. So, not everything in what appears to be a book of humor is funny. We have, however, tried to collect items which are inspirational, uplifting or entertaining. We make no apologies for those items we wrote ourselves. When one has a deadline, it has to be met. Upon retirement, with no more deadlines to meet, computers just starting to simplify rewriting, and desktop publishing becoming affordable, I started a little publication we call The Funny Paper. Its avowed purpose is to encourage budding authors of all ages to become published authors by writing humor and other kinds of filler material. Sixty-one editions later, we realized that in our files we had a golden treasury. We needed a title, and we found one, tucked away in the recesses of our memory. Jest For The Halibut is dedicated to all those who write, try to write, or want to write, and especially to those who have had attained some success with humor This is the kind of book that should be in every library.
