Little Frog lives with his mommy and daddy. It's just the three of them, and Little Frog likes it that way. But one day, his parents tell him he is going to be a big brother—to NINE tadpoles! Little Frog is not impressed with his baby siblings. They can't jump. They can't play drums. They can't do anything! All they do is keep Mommy and Daddy busy—too busy for Little Frog. But with a little time, big brother realizes that tadpoles grow into little frogs, just like him. And having nine new playmates makes his family better than ever.

In order to find the tadpoles he took for a swim in the lake, Curious George must learn about the life cycle of frogs. Includes related educational activities.

"One day, Freddie Fernortner and his friends, Chipper, Darla, and Mr. Chewy, find something in a nearby pond: tadpoles. The three first-graders catch a bunch of them and decide to raise the small creatures in a fish tank at Freddie's house. They know that soon, the tadpoles will turn into frogs, and they're excited to watch them grow. But raising tadpoles isn't as easy as they think, and it's not long before the excitement and thrills are hopping!"--P. [4] of cover.
