Little Tadpole is going through some big changes in his early life. For one thing, he's sad when he learns he is losing his tail. Instead, he's growing strange new legs that he doesn't know what to do with. The older frogs tell him to be patient, but it's hard when everything's changing around you. Then one day he finds himself face to face with a sneaky watersnake, and he learns just how useful his new legs can be. In the process, he discovers a beautiful new world outside the water. This is a funny, endearing look at what it means to grow up.
