In spring, Mother Frog laid nine hundred and ninety-nine eggs in the little pond.
One warm day, out hatched nine hundred and ninety-nine tadpoles. They were tiny, but full of beans.
Mother and Father Frog were delighted.
They told their babies, ‘Grow big. Grow strong.’
The nine hundred and ninety-nine tadpoles grew and grew. All squeezed together in the pond, they croaked up quite a din: ‘Can’t move!’ ‘Can’t breathe!’
Mother and Father sighed.
‘It’s good they’ve grown but—’
‘—what shall we do?’
Both said at the same time: ‘We’ll have to move.’
The Publisher on why she chose this book:
‘This picture book has drama, tension and humour. It’s like the frog version of children going on a very long journey: “Are we there yet?” Each of the 999 little frogs has its own personality — their eyes and body language are expressive and hilarious.’ Julia Marshall, publisher
