Magog The Frog
Australia
GREETINGS NEW FRIENDS AND FELLOW TRAVELIERS, MY NAME IS MAGOG.
I am a proud Queenslander and a curious tree frog.
There is so much of Australia which I am yet to see, and I’m off on a journey; would you like to come with me?
Magog is a curious tree frog who sets off from his home in sunny Queensland to explore the world around him. He boards planes, trains and ships to traverse Australia from east to west. The melodic rhyme coupled with bright and captivating images, ensure the reader is both entertained and educated.
The hope of the author is that through Magog’s adventures, children will learn about the unique places of Australia and that the seed will be planted for many explorations of their own. In the words of Magog himself, ‘thank you friends for joining me on this quest around my land, I hope this has inspired you to have your own trips planned!’
About the Author
Denita has spent her career in education, both as a language teacher and international student coordinator. She loves sharing the best of Australia with students from around the globe. She has always loved writing poems and some of her fondest childhood memories are of times on the family farm, crafting rhymes around the old Aga stove.
Magog was born on a secluded island in Vanuatu during a moment of boredom and with just an old ‘F’encyclopaedia from the resort library for inspiration! Denita hopes that Magog will motivate the next generation to have their own adventures in this beautiful world of ours.
