Kellogg has created new illustrations for and rewritten his story of Louis's mysterious tadpole that grows into a Loch Ness monster. The humor and exaggeration are still intact, and both the energetic, newly colorful art and the text contains more dialogue. This increased clarity comes at the expense of the nuances and surprises of the original edition.
