Bogtrotter
By Margaret Wild
Illustrated by Judith Russell
For ages 3+
Bogtrotter doesn’t ever stop running, until the day he meets the frog.
Every morning Bogtrotter runs across the bog, up the bog, down the bog and around the bog until it’s time to go home. Sometimes he wishes things would change, but he doesn’t know how or what or why. Until one afternoon, when he picks a flower for the first time in his life …
With internationally award-winning author Margaret Wild’s trademark subtlety and elegance, and gorgeous illustrations from acclaimed illustrator Judith Rossell, Bogtrotter explores what happens when we challenge ourselves, try new things and look beyond our own mushy bogs.

Why picture books?
Picture books cover a diverse range of topics, expose children to words and language they might not hear normally in conversation, and teach children how reading works (left to right, top to bottom). While picture books might be too hard for early readers to read by themselves at first, the books are not too hard to understand. Reading picture books with your child will inspire them to learn to read on their own, and experience the pleasure of reading.
