Sketches - Thai Frog

"CROAK!" "CROOOOOAAAK!" Rub the wooden stick over the scales on the frog's back to hear the sound of a happy frog, or perhaps it's a frustrated frog sending out an SOS mating call? Regardless, my father bought it for me during our family holiday in Thailand.  We each drew a name, and were given the challenge of finding the best present at the outdoor market on Christmas day for $5.  I got my dad an hour massage, and he bought me this frog and some jewelry.  Dad has a collection of wooden toys that he has picked up from artisans around the world, but the frog has always been one of his most favorites and I've often seen him showing guest how to make it "croak."
