Mr Malster has four little porcelain frogs on his dresser; little frogs dressed up in finery, with their musical instruments.

He doesn't realise they play real music. But they do. And when Fern, the accordion player, decides she wants to find a tune that she heard once, but could never remember, they take the courageous decision to set off in search of the lost music.

They ask the monkey mandarin, the Indian peacock, the blackbird, the cuckoo in the clock. No one can help. The frogs make their way to the distant woods in the hope that they'll find it there...

This book is for anyone with a love of music and a sense of wonder.
