Frog
Tadpole hatcher, food catcher
Tongue flicker, bug picker
Bug chewer, pond side viewer
Webbed feeter, splashing beater
Water skimmer, underwater swimmer
Lily leaf lurker, ripple surfer
Stylish hopper, water plopper
Breast stroker, deep croaker
Ribbit! Ribbit!
Tongue flicker, bug picker
Bug chewer, pond side viewer
Webbed feeter, splashing beater
Water skimmer, underwater swimmer
Lily leaf lurker, ripple surfer
Stylish hopper, water plopper
Breast stroker, deep croaker
Ribbit! Ribbit!
