A frog on the loose can make a small boy forget to come home for supper. The same frog, pulled suddenly from the boy's jackets pocket, may send a small girl home screaming. One way or another, everybody reacts to frogs.

Writers react in verse, stories, fables and folk tales. Artists react in watercolor, collage, woodcuts and painted glass.

In this collection, the writers include Aesop, Leonora Alleyne, Basho, Hillaire Belloc, George Cooper, Emily Dickinson, Oliver Herford, Joan Hutton, Kay McKemy, Ennis Rees, Laura E. Richards, Christina Rosetti and Richard Shaw. 

The are—done especially for this book—includes work by Joseph Low, Robert Gallster, Roger Duvoisin, Ann Grifalconi, Paul Galdone, Kazue Mizumura, John Ross, Judith Gwyn Brown and many others.

This is an imaginative and colorful collection—for no one is indifferent to frogs.
