JUMP, FROG, JUMP!

Jump, Frog, Jump
This hardcover children's book written by Robert Kalan and illustrated by Byron Barton was published by Greenwillow Books and printed in Singapore. I believe it was in published in 2003 and reissued by popular demand.
"This is the turtle that slid into the pond and ate the snake that dropped from a branch and swallowed the fish that swam after the frog-JUMP, FROG, JUMP!"


Don't read this book aloud if you aren't prepared to have your listeners chorusing these words. this perfect cumulative tale might well have been entitled "Let's Hear It for the Frog." And hear it you will-for no one can read or listen to this cliff-hanger without total involvement.
