What do tadpoles eat ?and perhaps more important WHAT EATS TADPOLES?!!!!THE MYSTERY of the DISAPPEARING TADPOLES"TWIN MYSTERY To many people artists seem undisciplined and lawless. Such laziness, with such great gifts, seems little short of crime. One mystery is how they make the things they make so flawless; another, what they're doing with their energy and time." Piet Hein
Most tadpoles eat little tiny plants called Algae, and other plants too. They love Fairy moss and fish food too. Then as they grow bigger you can feed them worms and other small insects like flies. This is NOT how to raise tadpoles!
"One day a nice lady poured hundreds of fat, friendly tadpoles into a sunny pond. The water was black with them."
"They ate and nibbled, and nibbled and ate, all round the edges of the sunny pond."
"The next day the nice lady went to look at the tadpoles in the sunny pond and found only six very frightened tadpoles."
Enjoying the tadpole story? Lorraine is the nice lady who sketched all the beautiful pictures in Bernard Preston's books. For more about Frog in my Throat,

"Then there was one. Alone in the sunny pond. The nice lady was sad and bewildered. Where had they gone ..."
"Suddenly, out of the reeds, appeared the monster ... The nice lady gasped. So did the tadpole!"
"As quick as a flash, the monster hurled himself upon the last remaining tadpole in the sunny pond, and ate it!"
Sadly, many humans are also monsters in one way or another. Do you feel like a tadpole, constantly being harassed? Talk to someone about it. Perhaps Dad. And that is the end of our tadpole story. Thank you, Lorraine Harrison!
