fantastic, original book

My daugther, 5, loves listening to this story, and we love reading it to her. It's the story of a Cuban tree frog happily living in the Everglades, who suddenly finds himself exploring the sites of New York City yet missing his home terribly. The story is beautifully told, the text lively and well written, the kind of prose that works for kids AND adults. The illustrations are great, too.
