Love it when a reader tells me not only how much they 'love' Gladys and Stripey, but how they have drawn inspiration from this story, and have TAKEN ACTION. The fellow who emailed me this morning has set up a pond at home, which a Southern Brown Tree Frog also calls home, (much to the owner's delight), and the aquatic vegetation is growing. Now he's thinking about fish! And he's been sharing the story -- not just the book, but all about his pond -- with his primary school students. Now, he tells me, they are into frogs and native fish! Gotta love that.
