Bookroo's summary

On a lively spring night, frogs gather to create a symphony of croaks and chirps, counting from one to ten. But when a car splashes by, their vibrant chorus is abruptly silenced. Will the frogs find their voice again? Dive into this rhythmic tale of sound and surprise, where numbers and nature collide in a delightful crescendo.

From the publisher

Count on these frogs for a luminous read-aloud bursting with lyrical sound play and visual surprises. 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, vibrantly illustrated by Cynthia Jabar.
