The other day my grand-kids went a huntin' big game. Frogs. "Letmesee-lemmesee-lemmesee." There were oh, maybe a million wee green flappers hopping through the grass. I love to be reminded of what pure joy looks like.
A frog hunt? I'd probably be brave enough to go on a frog hunt. I'd be smart like your grandkids, though, and wear long pants so the critters wouldn't jump on my leg.....ewwww.
Yeah, Shelley, you must have Safari attire to go on a Safari. I once went huntin' frogs at night. I heard this huge bullfrog (I thought) and snuck around the lake through the tall reeds with my flashlight. I kept hearing a "Hunn..Hunnn...Hunnn" sound and so I crept closer, closer... until suddenly this gigantic monster goose flew into my face squaaking and Hunnking. Scared the webbing off my toes...
I am the servant of my cats. Also an artist, author, and illustrator. I can almost fly around at will. Actually, when I folk dance I do fly. My first picture book for children was published in 1986, and I have been making books ever since. Somehow I married one of the world's greatest treasures. My world is filled with kids, grandkids, dogs, cats, rabbits, robots, dinosaurs, and fairies. Really. I believe with all my heart that we can make a difference in this world. It starts with giving, forgiving, and living out love. You know, "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you". Making art can be a part of making a better world. Dostoevsky said, "The world will be saved by beauty."

Haha! Geese really can be terrifying (and mean!)
If you like kids and frogs, you really must watch this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1CZcvQzf6pc&feature=related
