(Required Authors List)

This book is about two frogs named Bro and Dude. Dude came by to see if Bro was ready to head to the beach, but Bro was immersed in a book.  Bro was reading a book  about a man looking for a whale. As they rode on the moped to the beach the two get so engrossed in the book that it starts to become real around them. As the story reaches its climax they have finally made it to the beach and Bro gives a sly answer because Dude wants to know did he catch the whale and get the gold, but Bro doesn’t tell and now he is ready to surf. As the story ends Dude and is  hanging ten and surfing, and Bro is now into the book. This is a great picture book for a four to seven year old. It was very creative how the author makes mention of a known classic  tale Moby Dick.
