Bookroo's summary

Frog's joy in burping disgusts his fellow frogs, leading him to a town where burping is celebrated. But as he revels in this newfound acceptance, Frog begins to question if his old friends were right about manners. Will Frog embrace his gassy ways or learn a valuable lesson in etiquette? This humorous tale of bad manners promises laughter and a surprising twist on the importance of politeness.
