The first thing you're going to need to do is get the word 'Daytime' from the previous page in the book. Grab it, exit the book, and turn the book to the main swamp page we were just in.

Once you return, attack the word 'Night' from the first phrase and throw 'Daytime' in its place. This will turn the area from night to morning, and the singing frog positions will change slightly.

Head into the bottom-left corner of the map to defeat three enemies and unlock the red gate. There's a pullable block that you can grab in this section. Bring it north over to the switch in front of a gate holding the word 'Solid.'

Once you pull the block onto the switch, the area to the far left will also open. If you attack the tree at the northern end of that section with Jot's sword, you'll find one of the 50 hidden Art Scrolls in The Plucky Squire.

Go ahead and pick up the 'Solid' word. Head back to the front near the 'Daytime/Nightime' phrase. Drop 'Solid' on the floor near the middle area of the room. You will want to pull that block again, but take it east towards the broken bridge.

A sleeping frog will be in the way, so change it to nighttime and continue to pull the block east.

Drag it past the bridge, then place the block before the singing frog at the bottom of the path. When you change it back to daytime, you need to make sure this guy doesn't move around.

Go toss the word 'Solid' to fix the bridge once and for all, then change it to daytime.

Go into the swirl on the left side of the area and then teleport to the portal near the bridge.

You should be able to safely slip past the singing frog near the staircase and head across the fixed bridge. You can go down the stairs to enter the next part of Chapter 4 - A Treacherous Trail.

If you grab the word 'Huge' from two pages back with the big lilypad that has a face, you can bring it back to the singing frog area and plop it into the bridge sentence to make it big. This won't let you progress, but you get rewarded with the 'Huge Bridge' trophy and achievement.
