One Frog Sang

About this book

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.
