From beloved author Steven Kellogg!

It's Louis's birthday and Uncle McAllister has brought him a very special gift- a tadpole all the way from Scotland! Louis can hardly wait for Alphonse to grow into a frog. But it soon becomes clear that Alphonse is not turning into any ordinary frog. First Alphonse outgrows his jar, then the sink, and then the bathtub!

      Louis's uncle gives him a tadpole from Scotland, and soon Louis finds that his pet, Alphonse, is growing in ways that defy explanation. Kevin Free's simple narration of this story is pleasant, and his boyish voice nicely sketches the growing relationship between Louis and his pet. Free captures the pair's growing dilemma as Alphonse moves from bowl to sink, to tub, to pool, and appears to enjoy Kellogg's solution to the problem, which is guaranteed to delight your children as well. Be sure to get a copy of the book so as not to miss Kellogg's terrific illustrations of the mysterious tadpole's transformation. J.C.G. (c) AudioFile 2003, Portland, Maine
