TINARS for Tots: Bradley McGogg, The Very Fine Frog

This Is Not a Reading Series for Tots on Saturday, March 21, 2009 was presented by Pages Books & Magazine, The Little Paper, Bunch, and the Gladstone Hotel. Emily Holton, acclaimed artist and author, was the host of TINAR’s “Read Me a Game.” Tundra’s Tim Beiser presented Bradley McGogg, The Very Fine Frog with a tasty bug song and a frog cooking show (part of the Frog Food Network of course). Also presenting that day was Julie Morstad’s ABC and David Bruins and Hilary Leung’s The Legend of Ninja Cowboy Bear.
