Most toads and frogs lay their eggs in water, where the eggs hatch into tadpoles.

Page 18: Look at this bullfrog croaking!

A tadpole looks like a fish. It has gills for breathing under the water and a tail.

After a while, the tadpole begins to grow legs and to lose its tail. Its gills are replaced by lungs and it can breathe air just like you do.It can live out of water.
