Description: "When Kit's little brother Peedie worries for the safety of a cluster of frog eggs they find by the pond, Kit tells a tall tale about the Great Frog, protector of tadpoles"-- Provided by publisher.
Review Quotes: [A]n insightful picture book debut from Palazzola that's set around a clutch of frogspawn. . . . Mixed-media artwork imbues the Great Frog's domain with rich texture and romanticism, while the children's world remains simplified in thin-lined cartoons. Via smart vignettes, the children's frank discussion captures something essential about protecting vulnerability that's worth dwelling on.

--Kirkus Reviews [I]nfuses whimsy into a lesson about a frog's life cycle, combining the amusing mythology with a bit of science and a beautifully drawn familial relationship.
