Jump, Frog, Jump!

"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!" This infectious cumulative tale will soon have the young frogs you know jumping and chanting with joy.

When a frog catches a fly, he sets off a chain of predators in Jump, Frog, Jump! by Robert Kalan, illus. by Byron Barton. The title answers the repeated refrain "How did the frog get away?" and children will soon be chanting along with this cumulative tale enhanced by Barton's folk-art-style illustrations, before he adopted his trademark style featuring a thick black line.
