Frog Footy Player

In this version of the Grimm Brothers' The Frog Prince, Kiri kicks her footy into the pond. It is retrieved for her by Archey the frog, who in return demands to sit on a soft pillow, eating chocolate fish and watching the rugby on the big-screen TV! Kiri's annoyance turns to surprise then joy, when, in the excitement of winning the game, she kisses Archey and he turns into an All Black! East Auckland author Chris Gurney writes with a faultless sense of rhyme and rhythm and shows great humorous talent. Former BBC animator John Bennett now works full time as a cartoonist and illustrator. John lives in the Hokianga.
