Wide Mouth Frog

I made this page in November, and I am just now putting it on my blog. The Wide Mouth Frog story is one of the things I remember from my childhood, and now that my dad has grandkids, he has a whole new audience. I had to scrapbook this story so that I can remember it forever.


Journaling reads:
Story: The wide mouth frog had her first babies and was unsure what to feed them. She decided to hop around the zoo and ask the other animals what they feed there babies. The giraffe tells her she feeds her babies leaves, the seal tells her she feeds her babies fish, and the bird tells her she feeds her babies worms. To each of these, the wide mouth frog says, "oh is that so?" speaking with her mouth wide open. She finally gets to the crocodile and says, "Hi, my name is wide mouth frog. What do you feed your babies?" The crocodile says, "I feed my babies wide mouth frogs." The frog replies with her mouth open very small, "oh is that so?"
Journaling block: My dad learned the story of the Wide Mouth Frog when he was in college. He has been telling it ever since. It's hard to explain the story; you really have to watch my dad tell it. He really gets into the actions of the frog talking with his wide mouth.
