A Spoonful of Frogs
Casey Lyall, illustrated by Vera Brosgol
A green-skinned witch hosts a cooking show to make Frog Soup. She fills a cauldron with water, potatoes, carrots, garlic, and fly extract, then reaches the crucial step: adding frogs. The frogs repeatedly leap away, forcing her calm instructions to become increasingly frantic. Her efforts turn into a chase that leaves the studio for a park and ends with the witch slipping into a stream while pursuing them. The recipe format frames a comic struggle between the determined cook and the escaping frogs.
