Marsh Music
At night, ten different species of frogs convene in a marsh. Fireflies light up the scene as Maestro bullfrog raises his baton. The music builds to a crescendo as the night goes on. Just before dawn, the frogs depart—but the serenade is not over . . .

Reviews
Booklist
“Berkes turns the night songs of all kinds of frogs into a concert, with a bullfrog, Maestro, assuming the role of conductor. As the illustrations move from twilight to dawn, Maestro supervises a symphony of frogs plunking spider webs, playing pond instruments, and making sounds. . . that illustrate tempo, from moderato to animato. Noreika’s watercolor paintings of marsh life -plants, animals, insects, and even mist – are stunningly detailed and luminous. They perfectly complement this book about nature and music, brought together by the singing talents of frogs. An entertaining way to teach children about both nature and music.”
