The Tail of Timothy Tadpole (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9780578788951)

The Tail of Timothy Tadpole is a short Children's picture book about a normal Tadpole named Timothy. But there is one small problem; Timothy is not growing up into a frog as quickly as the other tadpoles. When the other tadpoles start making fun of Timothy because of his long tail and lack of legs, Timothy is deeply upset. During their weekly swimming lessons at Miss Jazmine the frog's house, Timothy, Susan (his best friend), and the rest of the tadpoles are attacked by a dangerous predator. The giant bird threatens the life of everyone at Miss Jazmines house. Timothy is able to quickly swim away because of his long tail, but the rest of the tadpoles struggle to move quickly because of their short legs and small tails. Josie, one of the tadpoles that was mocking Timothy earlier, is snatched up by the giant predator and is tossed into the air when she fails to escape quickly enough. She comes crashing back down into the water and Timothy fires through the water like a rocket ship and is able to push Josie to safety with the flick of his tail just in time. Timothy blacks out and wakes up later inside his log home surrounded by his friends and family. He is praised for being brave and saving the life of Josie thanks to his long tail and becomes the hero of the pond
