Bookroo's summary
A minnow and a tadpole are inseparable friends until the tadpole transforms into a frog and ventures beyond their pond. Upon returning, the frog shares tales of the world, sparking the fish's curiosity. But when the fish attempts to follow, he discovers land isn't as welcoming. Can their friendship bridge the gap between water and land? This enchanting story explores the power of friendship and the courage to embrace differences.
From the publisher
From beloved Caldecott winning picture book creator Leo Lionni, this charming tale of sticking together and imagination shows how powerful friendship can be.
Two best friends, a minnow and a tadpole, are practically inseparable until the tadpole grows legs and decides to explore the world beyond the pond. When the tadpole, now a frog, returns to tell his friend of the extraordinary things he’s seen, the minnow, now a fish, tries to follow in his footsteps, but quickly finds that land is not what he expected. Friendship truly saves the day in this imaginative tale of a fish out of water.
