Book by Willis Jeanne

A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture

Where the willow meets the water a tadpole met a caterpillar. They gazed into each other's tiny eyes . . . and fell in love.
"I love everything about you," said the caterpillar.
"Promise you'll never change."
And foolishly, the tadpole promises . . .
But we all know that tadpoles don't stay the same, and neither do caterpillars. Will it make a difference to their love for each other?
You bet!

This tragi-comic tale embodying the life-cycles of frogs and butterflies will delight children with a wicke sense of humour. And it's bound to appeal to adults, too, as an antidote to "and they lived happily ever after".

"It's terrific." Posy Simmonds
