Ep 5. The Pond Thief at Bystock Pools

  • Summary

  • Frogs and toads are surprisingly different. For example, lots of people don’t know that frogs hop while toads crawl.

    But now Frog and Toad have the same problem – precious frogspawn has been vanishing from under their noses and their pond is under threat.

    Ranger Rae, Apprentice Roxy, Beaver and Dragonfly try to solve a slippery mystery.

    Who’s been taking the frogspawn, and why?
