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!
First published in Japan in 2003, this is another wonderful title now published in English by Gecko Press.
In spring, Mother Frog laid nine hundred and ninety-nine eggs in the little pond. One warm day, out hatched nine hundred and ninety-nine tadpoles. They were tiny, but full of beans. Mother and Father Frog were delighted. They told their babies, 'Grow big. Grow strong.' The nine hundred and ninety-nine tadpoles grew and grew. All squeezed together in the pond, they croaked up a din: 'Can't move!' 'Can't breathe!' Mother and Father sighed. 'It's good they've grown but - ' ' - what shall we do?' Both said at the same time: 'We'll have to move.'
