This book features wonderful full-page illustrations and a rhythmic rhyme scheme. I was very impressed by this book.The plot is easy to follow and accompanies the pictures well. I say the plot accompanies the pictures because the pictures really are the focal point, I find. I think that adds to the story since the children can look at a big picture while their parent reads the story to them. Perfect for young children who are not ready to try reading yet.Great for little kids who love dinosaurs or frogs. My 4 1/2 year old grandsons give 5 stars and I do too. Since I brought it home, this has been their favorite book and I don't mind reading it over and over and over and over. I love the scale of the illustrations and the palette with its swampy greens and browns. There is always something new to find on the pages. The text fits wonderfully and the rythm of the words makes it fun to read together. Imaginative, original and finely crafted.
Loved this rhyming story of a little tadpole life in the giant world of dinosaurs.
