Box 126
Explanation: How do frogs reproduce?
First, the female frog lays her eggs. Then small tadpoles hatch from the eggs. A
tadpole looks like an egg with a tail. Next, the tadpole grows back legs. Then the
tadpole grows front legs, but it still has a tail. Finally, the tadpole loses its tail and
becomes a frog. It can leave the water and hop onto some rocks.
