Bookroo's summary

In a pond filled with noisy, unruly frogs, a quest for a king begins. Mistaking a rock for their leader, they soon discover the true ruler is Mamba, a fearsome crocodile. As Mamba's sharp teeth and swishing tail command respect, the frogs must learn the value of kindness and courtesy. Will they adapt to their new king's reign, or face the consequences of their choices? Dive into this tale of unexpected leadership and transformation.

From the publisher

Some loud, disrespectful frogs need a king to teach them to be kind and courteous to others. After mistaking a rock as their ruler, they learn that the crocodile Mamba, with its sharp teeth and swishing tail, was their true king.
