With endearing, expressive illustrations and a sustained rhyme in every line, here is a cozy tale that makes it clear there is room for all.

 One Frog Sang
On a wet spring night, one big frog sings KA-BLU-URP! Two
tiny frogs sing PREEP, PREEP, three young frogs sing RIBBIT,
RIBBIT, all the way up to ten frogs who trill PEEP, PEEP as
a frog chorus fills the air with grunts and croaks and chirps.
The night is resonant until . . . a car splashes down the street
and all the frogs, from ten down to one, are hushed! Shirley
Parenteau offers a joyfully cacophonous counting up and counting-down
story, bursting with lyrical sound play and visual surprises,
vibrantly illustrated by Cynthia Jabar.
