The Great Paint

The Great Paint is a brilliantly funny tale about what can happen when we forget to think of others and get carried away with our artistic endeavours ...

Frog thinks he's pretty artistic and that the rest of the forest could do with a little bit of inventive improvement. From painting to sculpture, to performance art and origami, Frog gets to work on beautifying everything around him ... but will his friends appreciate his creativity?

And how will Frog show them he's sorry and that true creative inspiration lies in the friendship of others?
