It keeps growing and growing and it becomes clear that it is no longer a tadpole so he eventually takes it to his school's pool and they figure out that it is a Loch Ness Monster. (  ) amguess | Oct 27, 2009 |  The Mysterious Tadpole is a cute story about a boy who receives an egg for his nature collection that he believes to be a frog egg. The tadpole keeps getting bigger and bigger and eventually had to live in the junior high pool. Eventually the tadpole has to find somewhere else to live so the Louis, his owner, had to figure another way for him to stay with him. They end up finding a way for him to stay and Louis got to keep his big tadpole which turns out to be a Loch Ness monster. This is great for kids who like to use their imagination.

It grows so large that Louis has to find a new place for it to live. In the end, Louis uses his tadpole's talent to help solve the problem. kjburkhalter | Sep 29, 2009 | I thought this was a very cute and funny book. It is a story about a little boy named Louis who was celebrating his birthday. His Uncle McAllister sent him a gift to add to his nature collection; a tadpole was part of it. When the tadpole, which Louis named Alphonse, grew to be enormous, Louis's parents told him that he needed to find a new place to keep Alphonse. Louis received help from Mrs. Seevers, who was the junior high school librarian. Together, they decided to search for a treasure chest that pirates lost many years ago. Once they found it, they then had enough money to build a swimming pool in the empty lot next to Louis's house; Alphonse had a new home. This is a good picture book for children because it is very colorful. I would read it to children in kindergarten through third grade. One good time to read it is when a student has an upcoming birthday. Another good time is when students are learning about animals and how they live because it shows the life of a tadpole. In addition, it could be read when students are learning about pirates because it involves a missing treasure chest that was lost by pirates.
