About this book
Li'l Petey, Molly, and Flippy launch a club to help a lively group of baby frogs create their very own comics.

Short chapters, big laughs, and playful art make it a great pick for new and reluctant readers. Fans of Dog Man will love the silliness and the inspiration to make comics of their own.
