Age range 5 to 9

Murphy likes his life just the way it is – swimming in his weedy pond, slurping up algae and rotting water plants.

But then things begin to change…and he’s not the only one caught by surprise!

‘Tull Suwannakit’s illustrations are lovely — suitably watery and translucent, infusing much movement and humour into the morphing figure of Murphy. Two double-page spreads towards the end of the book are particularly memorable: Murphy leaping off a leaf into the cool green pond, and then Murphy, lonely, staring wistfully into the starry night. This is a sweet book, and would be good for children aged three to five.’ — Books+Publishing
