Books for children

Mary Arrigan has got some great ideas about books for the young-ones.

Grumpy Frog by Ed Vere (Puffin, €7.90)

Parents who have experienced the terrible twos and the struggle to explain what sharing means to toddlers will appreciate the sentiments in this loud eye-catching picturebook. Frog only has time for being green, and hopping, and is absorbed in his own little world, where winning is the only option.
