(4) K-3 Translated by J. Alison James. Illustrated by Nicolas d'Aujourd'hui. According to a prefatory note, the European folk belief that frogs can predict weather led to the practice of keeping "weather frogs" in jars. When Moss the frog fails at weather prediction, he leaves his pond to consult a weather frog in a jar and discovers she's actually a captive without special powers. The illustrations are lively and spontaneous, but the story loses momentum toward the end.
