Tad spends every day with his awesome dad, and shares a lily pad with him at night. But now little Ted is getting bigger. He's growing new parts and reaching new heights. His dad is very proud, but when Ted's accomplishments carry over into nighttime-bringing lots of wiggling, croaking, and kicking in his sleep-the lily pad starts to feel mighty crowded. Eventually, Tad realizes it's time for a lily pad of his own-but will Dad be ready? Children and parents will relate to Caldecott Honor winner David Ezra Stein's expressive tale. The frogs' body language and family dynamics will evoke nods of recognition and lots of laughs!
