Oil and Basil: The Dashing Frogs of Travel By Megan Fless, Hardie Grant, $24.99

Oil and Basil are two frogs who live next door to each other.

Basil is an artist who dreams up fabulous machines but doesn’t know how to build them. Oil is an inventor who can take apart and build things but doesn’t know what will work. When a competition to make a pig fly is launched, both enter and fail. But can they make it work together? It’s the start of a beautiful friendship.
