Back in the city, people investigate traces left by the frogs. At dawn, the frogs return to the pond and their normal life of resting on lily pads and swimming. At "4:38 a.m.", they encounter a dog who tries to catch one of the frogs, but is then chased by a large group of them. The squadron of frogs appropriate her remote control and stare avidly at the screen. They enter the house where an old lady sleeps in front of her television. The frogs pass through someone's backyard. They levitate past birds that sit on the electric wires, pausing at the kitchen window of a man eating his sandwich. The story begins on "Tuesday evening, around eight".Ī group of frogs start their journey in some wetlands, then fly to the nearest town. The whole story is narrated by colorful pictures of frogs flying on their lily pads. The story contains only six words and three points that determine the time of the action. The book contains 35 pages and is designed for children ages 3 and up. The book was originally published in 1991 by Clarion Books, and then re-published in 2001 by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt Books for Young Readers.
