Leap Frog Story

Item #2501

Collector Society Artwork Series

(N0vember, 1993) Every leap year Kent the gnome and Tad the frog take a trip to the beach. First they check with Halley, the Woodspirit weather wizard, to guarantee a perfect day. Kent, like his hero Superman, dreams of leaping over tall buildings. His friend Tad is a tad too small for such grandiose ambitions, but no matter – they’re having a ball. There’s something about the sand and the surf that just makes them jump for joy. Perhaps they can persuade the frogs Hawthorn and Bob to join in their jumping jamboree. The Woodspirits Justin and Carl are also the right height for this game. Leaping lizards – what a long leap frog line that would be! There’s a game token in the sand that says “Fun and Games,” the description of a perfect vacation for these two friends.
