Tad enjoys being a tadpole, especially sporting a tail that helps when playing underwater baseball or fending off bullies. Soft-edged, rounded illustrations in undersea blues and greens show Tad's shock when he begins to grow legs, a normal developmental mark for a frog. The slight story aims to help youngsters find comfort in growth and change.
