ABOUT THE BOOK
Who is this intruder?
Does it mean to harm him?
The BIG THING is a boy named Robert. He has moved with his family into the old farm near the pond. Mumps has never met anyone like this. Very afraid, Mumps jumps into the water, swimming to safety at the bottom of the pond.
Maybe the BIG THING will go away!
Discover how Mumps finds the courage to overcome his fears and come out of the water to make new friends.
Young readers will learn how these two become friends and why Robert thinks Mumps is the smartest frog ever.

WHAT OTHER READERS SAY ABOUT THE BOOK
“Linda Kandelin Chambers has created a delightful story of childhood innocence and simple adventure in an imaginative tale. Her obvious love of nature, seen with a child-like 'eye' will please youngsters reading MUMPS. It is a simple yet compelling story with chapter endings that lead easily to the next. Readers will especially enjoy the 'thinking and worrying' of Mumps. They will never again see a frog without remembering this book!. The water-color pictures are fresh and let the child feel the lovely out-of-doors that is the country."

Sweet and charming little story, especially as we feel the excitement, joy and contentment of Mumps as he has his almost revelations, discovering the wonders and meaning in life."
