What is Bradley McGogg About?
Meet Bradley McGogg
Bradley McGogg is a frog who lives in a wet, marshy place called a bog. He loves to eat yummy bugs that live there. One day, Bradley looks in his "pantry" (which is just his usual bug-hunting spot). Oh no! It's completely empty! There are no bugs left for him to eat.
Bradley's Big Idea
Feeling hungry, Bradley decides to do something new. He wants to meet his neighbors! He hopes they will share their favorite foods with him. He thinks maybe they eat the same things he does.
A Lesson in Eating Habits
As Bradley visits different animals, he learns something important. Not all animals eat the same way! This "bog frog" discovers that what's yummy for him might not be yummy for a squirrel or a bird. The story teaches us about different animal diets. It also shows how important it is to be friendly and explore new things.
