We're offering 15 free Waitrose Yule logs and a signed copy of Oi Frog! to gransnetters who come up with the best festive or animal rhyme in one sentence, in the style of the book (eg ‘pheasants sit on presents’ etc.)

From the award-winning Kes Gray and the winner of the Roald Dahl Funny Prize, Jim Field, comes an hilarious rhyming tale about a frog who discovers that all animals have their special places to sit!

Cats sit on mats, hares sit on chairs, mules sit on stools and gofers sit on sofas, but Frog does not want to sit on a log! Jam-packed with animals and silliness, this original rhyming story will have young children in fits of laughter

'An absolute treat.' - Daily Mail

'Hilarious illustrations and rhymes which are easy to recite and join in. Everyone will love it.' - The Guardian

Oi Frog is published by Hachette Children's Group and can be purchased on Amazon.

Post your festive or animal rhymes (in one sentence) below by Friday 11 December to be entered into the competition.

Kookaburra sits on the old gum trees, and due to the glue, gets arthritic knees.

The giraffe had a laugh
At the rhino in the bath.
The lion was in shock
At the time on monkeys clock.
It was time for snakes party
For the zoo glitterati
All were there in their splendour
And made their way to the dance floor!

The Highland Stag sat on Gran's shopping bag, whilst the wood mouse scared the grouse into sitting on the chimney pot of Gran's house.

We wish you a Merry Christmas,
We wish you a Merry Christmas,
We wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Glad tidings we bring to you and your frog, -
I'm sorry, - but we've eaten your Waitrose Yule Log!!

Santa's foot was covered in soot, making a mess on the floor when he went out the door.

december is here, rain wind and fog. What we really want for Christmas is a waitrose yule log

NanSue Wed 02-Dec-15 15:49:49

Oh! Just watched the video. It really is all about sitting, so I'm changing that to:

Bears sit on stairs

Rats sit in hats

Kangaroos sit on loos

NanSue Wed 02-Dec-15 15:32:22

A bear... Where?...over there!

Rats chewing on mats.

Kangaroos reading the news.

Bats like gnats,
Otters like swimming in the Nile,
Cats like hats,
But Crocodile don't like waiting a while!

Robin loves bobbin',
Giraffe loves staring,
Sparrow loves marrows,
But Herring doesn't like sharing!

Koalas avoid bananas,
Bears avoid stairs,
Armadillos avoid willows,
But hares do not avoid dares.

Kangaroo jumps over the loo,
Frog jumps over the bog,
Cow will jump right now,
But Dog doesn't want to jump over the log.

I once had a cat I wore as a hat, till it wee'd in my hair and gave me a scare!

Three Kings from the East
travelled to a place expected least,
following a bright star a new king to see
bearing gifts upon their dromedary.

Ant eaters sit in theatres
Drinking milk in litres

Listening to the leeches
Who like to suck on peaches (hee hee!)
