This book is set during the Christmas season. The family is getting ready for Christmas. Ted's father gets up to tell a story of meeting Santa Frog. As the story is being told, children will get to learn to rhyme some words. The series continues to teach children to read.

Ted and his brother Brad seem excited about Santa Frog. Will they get to meet Santa Frog? What will Santa Frog bring them and how many presents? There is still the meaning behind the story. There seem to be an important meaning behind the story. Though this one will not know until the end of the book. What matters most is that Family Matters.

I got the feeling of The Night before Christmas feeling with this story. As if you read. Though with the teaching of the meaning of Christmas and family being the center of the story. Though that is my thoughts on it.

The author still gets the children to learn to read with the rhyming theme as you read. This is good as this helps with children and good to have parents pick up the series. It does teach lessons and meanings that are important for children to learn.

Ted is getting ready for the big race at the Golden Lake. He seems hungry and follows a fly. As does he get lost in the woods. Though he meets new friends in the woods. They all help him get back in time for the race.

There a decision he got to make when he in second place. Should he help his friend that in trouble or should he win? This is where the important lesson comes in Helping a friend in need or winging the race?

The author does this with the book along with the rhyming of words. Children will learn to read with this book as well. Learn about friendship as well. Learning about helping a friend rather than wining.

Book Title: Ted the Friendly Frog and the Tale of the Diamond
Author: Scott McCall
Genres: Animals, Adventure, Children,
Publisher: Brown Books Publishing
Publisher Date: 2019-07-23 (34 Pages, Hardcover)
Series: Ted the Friendly Frog #1

Ted the Friendly Frog lives by a pond and spends his froggy days playing with his friends, hopping in the grass, and swimming very fast. One day, Ted's grandfather tells Ted something important - he's going away for a few days, and could Ted look after his special diamond? Ted must not play with the diamond with his friends or even show anyone, for it is an old tradition to pass the diamond down to the next frog in the family, and it's a very valuable stone. In this bouncing and rhyming tale, Ted learns the important lesson of listening to his family, even if it is more fun to play, and it is never too late to learn from a mistake.

We get introduced to Ted. We find out how he spends his day. Though in the first adventure he has. It when his grandfather asks him to watch a diamond of his.

As you read. You find out that Ted as a mishap? Will he tell his grandfather. Will Ted learn his lesson. You can learn from your mistakes. I enjoy how the author does this. Children will learn about making mistakes. Will they learn to listen to their parents and friends?

The author does well with this. The pictures are done well. I love how the story is told with the pictures. There even rhyming going on throughout the book. Children can learn to read as well.
