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.

Mice sit on ice - lollies, toads sit on loads of things, moles sit in holes and owls sit on towels.

Novembers Gone and Decembers here and Santas on his way
With a Waitrose Yule log and book about a frog it will make a happy end to the year

My true love sent to me
A partridge in a fridge
2 turtle doves, wearing gloves
3 French hens through a lens
4 calling birds without words
5 gold ring(ers ) who turned out to be mingers
6 geese a laying to avoid slaying
7 swans a swimming and skimming
8 maids a milking without thinking
9 drummers drumming and humming
10 pipers piping before skyping
11 ladies dancing rather than romancing
12 lords a leaping before sleeping

Doing my Christmas shopping online is probably not wise when I'm drinking wine.
