by Mercer--Illus. Mayer ‧ RELEASE DATE: Sept. 12, 1969
Again friend frog is the come-on, as boy and dog search for him, stirring up a hornet's nest -- and other troubles -- before finding him near the pond, the proud father (assuming it's he) of a new family: in his place, boy takes home one of the babies. There's less light mockery than in the first, and a narrower range of expression generally -- just action and reaction. But lively and easy enough to follow without words of explanation (if you assume also that the babies are flash-born).
