Never underestimate the quick wits of 999 young frogs! “We’ll have to move,” says Mother, after realizing the pond is too small. But moving a family of 999 young frogs is fraught with danger! Hungry snakes are crawling through the grass. Hungry hawks are flying through the sky. A young frog makes a mighty tasty morsel.

Country of origin: Japan When nine hundred and ninety-nine tadpoles grow into little frogs, their pond becomes too cramped. 'Can't move!' 'Can't breathe!' Mother Frog and Father Frog sigh. 'We'll have to find a new home.' But it's a dangerous world out there. . .
