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.

Christmas Day hip hip hooray
Santa's back with his sack
girls and boys making a noise
the cat wears a hat
the dog eats the yule log
time to go says Auntie Flo
Christmas Day hip hip hooray

It's very important to remember... slugs sit on rugs, crabs sit on slabs, yaks sit on sacks, wrens sit on pens, mice sit on rice, rams sit on yams, voles sit on bowls, ewes sit on pews, swans sit on scones, grubs sit on shrubs, ducks sit on trucks, stoats sit on boats, whales sit on nails, skunks sit on trunks, chicks sit on sticks, llamas sit on pyjamas, bantams sit on phantoms, raccoons sit on balloons and... FROGS sit on LOGS!

At the woodland christmas meeting while the birds were busy tweeting, a tick took the mick then a snake took a break, so the hare took the chair.

Christmas Eve Sitting by the fire eating Christmas cake. Dad outside collecting leaves with his rake. In the kitchen Mum is busy, and Gran shouts out I feel a bit dizzy. We all rush to help and what do we find. Gran has drunk too much Mulled Wine. We all giggle as her cheeks are rosy red, and Gran declares "it's gone straight to my head".
