Publisher Description:
Mister Frog has slept through Christmas every year, and every year he has listened to his three friends talk about how wonderful it is.

Oh, Froggy, you would love it Turkey, plum pudding, candy canes, lots of good things to eat, says Mistress Pig.
Candles, angels, and Christmas trees, says Missy Cat.
Yule logs, Christmas carols, and Santa Claus, adds Master Dog.

And this year, Mister Frog is determined not to miss it -- but oh, if he could just take one small nap....
