Synopsis
The first and favorite in the Rick Walton language arts series. What is the worst thing that can happen to a frog? He's lost his hop and doesn't know where to find it. Set in the Old West, the story takes the reader into every nook and cranny that compound words can offer. It's a rollicking story that begs to be read again and again. An educator's favorite.
