The Fate of a Frog

When people don't get rain for a long time, we call it a drought. People hardly realize that their community is in a drought until their lakes and other drinking supplies run low. That doesn't happen very often, thank goodness. But it happens every year to thousands of tadpoles that hatch from frog eggs laid in mud puddles. Fortunately, most of these tadpoles grow legs & are able to hop away before their mud puddles dry up. Melissa Rooney's Dr.-Suess-inspired story about a frog's plight to escape its birth puddle and Stacy Fabbre's smile-provoking illustrations are sure to capture the imaginations of child and adult readers and listeners, alike.
