"Frog Belly plants the idea that with some strategy, good communication, and goodwill, you can grow wonderful things." PORTLAND PRESS HERALD Once upon a time, in a gray endless place called Cementland, there lived a boy who wished to find a treasure. After searching through piles of toaster ovens and wet smelly socks, he spies a box filled with specks and a note that says, "Put these wondrous riches in the earth and enjoy." Horrified to learn that thieves are after his treasure, the boy scrounges in the junkyard and conjures a scarecrow-like creature to stand guard: Frog Belly Rat Bone, king and protector of the specks. With subtle tones and bursts of glowing color, Tim Ering's surreal artwork and hand-lettered text exude all the whimsy of an inspired imagination and the wonders of a natural world that awaits discovery, even in Cementland.
