Roger the Frog is sick and tired of his life in the pond. Unloved by his parents, Freda and Frank, and bored to death of eating nothing but flies day after day, he decides that he will venture forth into the Big Wide World in the hope that he might one day be something. Bidding his family farewell, he embarks on a daring voyage of discovery, meeting a series of weird and wonderful creatures along the way, all of whom test his bravery (and his patience!) to its very limit... Will Roger prevail and find the magnificent new life he has always dreamed of? Or will he discover the hard way that sometimes there is no place like home? A spectacularly silly yarn from the writer of 'Norbert'.
