Description
A slightly confused and muddled mummy toad can't find a suitable place to lay her precious toad-spawn! She spies an over-flowing drain and there, finally lays her eggs.
After a while, the drain becomes laden with bouncy, bulging toad-spawn and hundreds of tiny tadpoles are born! All seem excited with life and their new home, except for one little tadpole...
Alan is not happy! The drain is too dirty, cramped and noisy... all the things he can't stand, so while waiting for his legs, arms and lungs to develop, he forms a plan to escape to his own quiet, clean home. The only problem is he doesn't know where it is yet?
As soon as he is big enough, he packs his suitcase and begins his journey to find a new place of his own...
