In this hot, humid weather which is supposed to reach 100 degrees today, it's too hot to play leap frog!

This collectible is from Annalee and is a 10 inch Leapin' Frog. It dates to 1997 at a time when they were still made in New Hampshire (that's no longer the case - they are now made in China, which has infuriated a lot of collectors). Annalee dolls are a "soft sculptured art form." They are made of cloth and wire. Frogs have been popular with Annalee for a long time.
