AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Pobblebonk the Frog grew from a tiny speck in an egg floating on the water into a tadpole. Then, in a magical change, from a swimming water-living tadpole it grew into an air-breathing creature that lives on land and can spring into the air or swim. Pobblebonk is the sound made by many of these frogs calling together.'
