Tad is the smallest of the tadpoles. She's the slowest swimmer and the slowest to develop. She is also the most afraid of Big Blub, a huge fish who reportedly eats small tadpoles. So Tad stays away from the shadows and the deep. Soon, her tad brothers and sisters beginning to develop legs, lose their tails and leave the small pond. Tad isn't losing her tail, and she's worried. What if everyone leaves and it's just Tad and Big Blub?
This cute story is about courage and growth and patience. I loved the message that everyone doesn't develop on the same timeline. There's a tiny bit of science as we watch tadpoles turn into frogs.
