Publisher Description
Ponds are the most fabulous place for discovering all kinds of wonderful things! There are plants, insects, birds... and, of course, beautiful green frogs. Sometimes, one can even find fish, such as the flamboyant koi. But the koi has not always been king of the pond. There was a time when it was just an ordinary black-and-white fish. This was before Bekko, a young koi, fell in love with Matsou, the pretty frog. Here is a colourful love story like no other.
The book was originally published in French and received excellent reviews:
“One of the best French-Canadian children’s books of the year. --Magazine Protégez-vous (a consumer guide magazine)
“A great book for the summer vacations. One of the top ten children’s books of the summer. ” --Journal de Montréal & Journal de Québec
“A beautiful love story. I loved it! ” --Christine Michaud, TVA
Customer Reviews
The Koi and the Frog
This story was so adorable. I loved Bekko the fish and his persistance and devotion to Matsou the frog. He stayed by her side even when she was sad and even when she hibernated - visiting her every day even though she couldn't know if he was really there or not.
The learning lesson kicks in when he hears the story of her childhood and her wish gone bad. A very fun tale that kids will really enjoy.
