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.

Early Bird Nature Books series.

This book covers a fair amount about the animal's habits and characteristics for independent readers. The choppy text enumerates facts about the crayfish, while the color photographs and captions don't really extend the text as much as illustrate what is already there. The book will be useful to report writers. A habitat map is included, and a note to adults discusses reading with children. Glos., ind.
