Tadpole is distressed because all of the animals he encounters can jump and he has not yet learned how, but the ability comes to him just at the right time

From Kirkus Reviews:
All is well in Tadpole's world until he sees his mother, a frog, jump. Disappointment surges through him--why can't he jump, too? To make matters worse, during Tadpole's exploratory glimpses of landlubbers, he encounters a lamb, a rabbit, and a grasshopper, all of whom are star jumpers. As the days go by, the illustrator deftly, inconspicuously morphs Tadpole so that when he has a dramatic encounter with the Big Bad Fish, he finds himself with the right instincts, and the perfect equipment, just in time. The colors in the full-page artwork are radiant and attention-grabbing; the book, with its simple repetitive text, can also be used by new readers. Patience seldom comes easy to the young mind, but Cain shows how waiting to grow up is a natural process. (Picture book. 3-7) -- Copyright ©1998, Kirkus Associates, LP. All rights reserved.
From Booklist:
Ages 3^-5. Although the Big Bad Fish of the title is certainly a big presence (both literally and figuratively), it's little Tadpole who stars in this British import. The youngster's dream is to jump--"Boing" --just like Mother Frog. "When you are a little older, you will," she reassures her impatient offspring. In his journeys around the lily pond, Tadpole meets other star jumpers--Lamb, Rabbit, and Grasshopper. Still, Tadpole has no luck with his leaps until he encounters the notorious Big Bad Fish. He is so scared that he leaps all the way back home. Preschoolers will like the action and humor of the simple, repetitive, cumulative text. The brightly colored and patterned paper collages are on the busy side, yet the scenes of bounding animals set against crisp white space are delightful. Julie Corsaro
