Illustrated by
Yasunari Murakami.
When 999 tadpoles transform into 999 frogs, things get crowded. Relocation across the field proves hazardous when a hungry hawk nabs Father. Mother's quick thinking saves the day as she grabs onto Father, and all the young frogs link up in turn. There's not a word misplaced in the spare and funny text, and the illustrations are full of lively movement and personality.
