Female frogs lay masses of jelly-coated eggs in the water, but what hatches from each egg isn't a frog yet - it's a tadpole. Tadpoles are like tiny fish that breathe underwater through gills. As the tadpole gets older, it loses its fishy tale and its gills and grows legs and develops lungs. The taddpole has become a frog. "From Tadpole to Frog" is a lovely first look at this amazing metamorphasis.
