The book illustrates the well-known American folk song about the courtship and marriage of a frog and a mouse.
This is a wonderful children’s book. Children will learn about the marriage and have curious questions about the story. The book makes children think about adult matters from a child’s view. Students can research about different cultures and how marriage is different in each culture.
