Bookroo's summary

In the swamp's springtime, 999 young frogs awaken to find the world still asleep. As they rouse the biggest frog, a tortoise, a lizard, and ladybugs, they stumble upon a sleeping snake. Panic ensues—can they avoid waking this dangerous creature? With teamwork and a clever tortoise, the frogs must navigate this slippery situation. Will they manage to keep the peace in their swampy home, or will the snake's awakening spell trouble? Dive into this charming tale of friendship and adventure, where every hop counts.

From the publisher

Wake up–it’s springtime in the swamp! As 999 young frogs awaken, they panic to find that all of the other animals are still asleep. First they wake the biggest frog… then the tortoise, the lizard, and the ladybugs. But when they hop down a hole and all pull together, they find someone they don’t want to wake–a big, long snake. Don’t wake him up! Luckily for the frogs, the tortoise carefully carries him away. Ken Kimura and Yasunari Murakami are back again in this delightful tale about frogs and friendship!
