This cacophonous counting tale features the "preeps," "ribbits," and "gree-deeps" of a multitude of frogs ("One big frog...blew out a song: Ka-blu-urp"). Their voices join in a rising symphony then decrescendo until the evening is still. Lively mixed-media illustrations in shades of blue and green flow across the pages, providing an apt landscape for these personality-rich froggies.
