When Tadpole sees his mother and various animals jumping, he wishes he, too, could jump. They all assure him that someday he will, but that's not good enough for the impatient tadpole. Finally, he meets the Big Bad Fish and quickly leaps out of harm's way. The brightly colored torn-paper collages, which show him changing gradually into a frog, are more engaging than the repetitive text.
