Product Description

Wendy Pfeffer describes the amazing metamorphosis from tiny, jellylike egg, to little fishy tadpole, to great big bullfrog. Holly Keller has created the archetypal frog pond and we see it through the seasons as the tadpoles grow legs and lungs and eventually hop onto land: bullfrogs at last. "Well-designed ink drawings washed with soft-toned watercolors stretch across the double-page spreads, showing the action above and below water level. . . .an attractive, general introduction."--BL. 1994 "Pick of the Lists" (ABA) Best Children's Science Books, 1994 (Science Books and Films)

Customer Reviews

It's American1
I bought this as we have some tadpoles in our local pond - However BEWARE - this is an American publication, so for instance it says that the tadpoles hibernate in the mud over the winter - which our UK ones don't - Also it has pictures of turtles around the pond, very cute but again not native to the UK (unless it is one of the surviving ones released after that ninja turtle craze) they also refer to Autumn as 'Fall' and there is a map at the back where bullfrogs live throughout the USA.

The book itself is well written, from the science point of view, and the illustrations are engaging which any young child would enjoy.

I would therefore only recommend this book if you are American, live in America, or are going to raise a bullfrog (which is the big american sort) from a tadpole.
