( Each morning Mr. Reginald E. Basset wakes up in the big...)
Each morning Mr. Reginald E. Basset wakes up in the big bedroom of his huge mansion. And each morning brings more of the same: contracts, payrolls, and purchases. Reginald E. Basset is very rich. He has important things to do. But in spite of all his wealth and activity, he feels something is missing in his life. One day, while gazing out his office window, he notices children who seem to be enjoying themselves in the park. What could be making them so happy? He calls for his butler and eagerly asks what the children are doing. When his butler replies, "They're playing, sir," Reginald E. Basset realizes what he's been missing. He decides then and there what he wants: He wants to play. But will play be enough to make Reginald E. Basset happy? Dominic Catalano's humorous story, with big, bold illustrations, features an endearing hound who's on a quest to discover the important things in life.

Frog's courtship of Miss Mouse has been sung for centuries in more than one hundred variations. One tradition of this beloved folk song is traced back to seventeenth-century Scotland, which serves as the setting for Dominic Catalano's exquisitely illustrated retelling.
