Frog of the Day

Castagna - Frog Dad Reading

It's another rainy, rainy day here at Frog Central. So what's a frog to do with bored tadpoles. How about a little father and son time time while reading a book. And what better title than Frog Prince - there is even a big picture drawn on the facing page so the little tadpole can dream of growing up to rule the pond.

Today's frog comes from the wonderful Castagna Collection. These are made in Bagni de Lucca located in the foothills of Tuscany, Italy. This piece is entitled Frog Dad Reading and has some interesting details, including the fact that the book does have etched in it the title of Frog Prince and the facing page has a prince. This piece is dated 1998. These are wonderful little figures and I enjoy collecting them.
