An action-packed adventure filled with humour, friendship, and exciting discoveries, this thrilling chapter book follows an ambitious young frog who dreams of becoming a world-famous explorer.
Croaky Hopper isn't like the other frogs. While everyone else is content with ordinary pond life, Croaky spends his days imagining daring escapades, perilous journeys, and heroic adventures worthy of his idol,
the legendary explorer Tennessee Toad.
When his Aunt Lilly enrols him in the Woggle Scouts, Croaky expects a programme packed with crafts, badges, and outdoor activities. But he soon discovers that life as a
scout is anything but ordinary. Under the leadership of Winston the Puffin, the scouts embark on a daring expedition with an incredible goal: to track down a legendary sasquatch.
As Croaky and his fellow scouts venture into the unknown, they'll face challenges, surprises, and plenty of unexpected excitement. Along the way, Croaky learns that true adventure requires courage, teamwork, and a willingness to embrace the unexpected.
Packed with
