More fables about the lives of the Frogs of Sawhill Ponds. Benjamin Froglin, Dr. Sigmund Frog, and others return to comment with insight and humor on the issues - serious and light - faced by the pond's inhabitants. As with Volume 1, the tales are addressed to children and adults in order to generate thought and raise questions

In the tradition of Aesop's Fables, The Frogs of Sawhill Ponds are tales for children with mature questions and adults who have not forgotten childhood. Play with ideas and language offers delightful surprise as well as insight into the human condition. Sometimes the listener will not know whether to laugh, cry, or do both; other tales offer witty fun. Those who enjoy Wind in the Willows, Winnie the Pooh, or The Little Prince, will enjoy Frog Tales.

The Rossi family received only a handful of letters after their son shipped out on the supertanker Aurora Victorious. The first dispatches were from Harold himself, describing the blend of tedium and excitement that defined life onboard the ship. The last communication came from the ship's owners: four brief sentences informing them that their son had died and been buried at sea.
