The park was regularly placed behind the row of white picket fenced houses where Jo, Wash, Scary-Duplicate-Closet-Wash and Maxine were living. It looked inviting from the kitchen window and as long as she remained in-sight, Maxine sometimes went out to play.
It was there that she discovered the purple monstrosity once known as Winifred Burkle. Maxine's eyes grew wide, "You're the biggest frog I've ever seen!"
And she had seen some pretty big frogs.
"Are you a new kind of frog? Purple is really pretty. I like your spots. There are little frogs that look like you but I've never seen a big one. Can you climb trees or are your legs too big?"
