Read Along
Finley was a small frog who lived in the gentle embrace of Lily Pad Lane. It was a lovely place teeming with vibrant water lilies and the jubilant croaking of his fellow frogs. But Finley was different. You see, Finley only ate one thing: green flies. He adored the sharp, tangy crunch they offered with every bite.
