Illustrated by
Yasunari Murakami.
In this third book (999 Tadpoles; 999 Frogs Wake Up!), one little tadpole struggles to keep up with his 998 faster-growing brothers. A chance meeting with a tiny crayfish lets him feel big and saves him from a giant snake. The story concept isn't original, but the design, featuring bright green frogs against a stark white background, is appealing.
