About the Book
Mrs Hasalot, a mother frog, has squabbling tadpoles. Darius comes to help settle the dispute between K-tad and G-tad, who are two of twenty-six tadpoles. K-tad and G-tad want to know who is the fastest. So Darius supervises a race. In the first race attempt, one tadpole does some pushing. The next race, one tadpole bites his brother's tail. Then the tadpoles discover they are starting to become frogs.
Now all the tadpoles want to race. Will this race ever end?
