Little Frog--the feisty young heroine of Little Frog and the Scary Autumn Thing--is on a new adventure. This time, she's trying to stay a jump, or rather a lily pad, ahead of the spring polliwogs (brothers, sisters, and cousins of hers). They are SO much trouble. And because Little Frog likes being an "Only Frog," the tadpoles (as she's supposed to call them) just get in the way. Little Frog is totally out of sorts. But when that polliwog trouble becomes nothing compared to a real threat---boys with nets --Little Frog has to remember all that she's been taught in order to save the tadpoles from disaster. This charmer of a sequel is by multi-award winning author Jane Yolen, author of On Bird Hill, Owl Moon and the How Do Dinosaurs...? books. The wonderful spring palette and adorable pictures are by illustrator of the first Little Frog, Ellen Shi.
