Book Overview

Count on these frogs for a luminous read-aloud bursting with lyrical sound play and visual surprises. On a wet spring night, one big frog sings KA-BLU-URP Two tiny frogs sing PREEP, PREEP, three young frogs sing RIBBIT, RIBBIT, all the way up to ten frogs who trill PEEP, PEEP as a frog chorus fills the air with grunts and croaks and chirps. The night is resonant until . . . a car splashes down the street and all the frogs, from ten down to one, are hushed Shirley Parenteau offers a joyfully cacophonous counting-up and counting-down story, vibrantly illustrated by Cynthia Jabar.

My 4 Year Old LOVES It!

My four-year-old daughter loves this story, both in counting the frogs on the pages and repeating the frog "songs" as the story goes along. She has suddenly noticed and gets excited about the frogs singing in our own backyard. Wonderful story, great illustrations. Your child will love it.
