Laugh and learn with fun facts about pond animals, algae, metamorphosis, and more—all told in Dr. Seuss’s beloved rhyming style and starring the Cat in the Hat!

the stages of frog development
the difference between complete and incomplete metamorphosis
how amphibians spend part of their lives in the water and part on land
and much more!
