Morphing Murphy by Robert Favretto illustrated by Tull Suwannakit






The transformation of a tadpole into a frog is a miraculous thing and in this book you can learn about this process from Murphy himself.

Two tiny bumps appeared next to his tail.
Soon the bumps grew into legs.
Murphy's tail disappeared!

Yes this is a book about the metamorphosis of frogs but there is a delight story twist at the end. A girl arrives at the pond. She scoops Murphy out of the water and gives him a kiss!! Have you guessed what will happen? You might get a surprise.




Morphing Murphy would be the perfect addition to any school or preschool library.  Here is the web site for Tull Suwannakit. Watch this three minute video to see the amazing changes in the frog lifecycle. The story of Murphy begins around day 15.
