Description

A frog repays Wanyana's kindness by helping her pick the right man to be her husband.

Quick Summary

A clever frog with unusual talents decides to play matchmaker for a kind girl who showed him compassion, and what starts as a simple act of kindness turns into a hilariously awkward quest through a village full of colorful suitors. Kids will laugh out loud as Matchmaker Frog uses his croaking wisdom to weed out the pompous, the ridiculous, and the totally wrong matches while teaching everyone what true kindness really looks like. If your kid likes the animal-sidekick humor and heart of "Charlotte's Web" or the village intrigue in "The Hundred Dresses," they'll absolutely adore this charming tale. Perfect for kids in grades 3 through 5, especially those who love stories where animals outsmart humans and kindness wins the day.
