By Caldecott Medal winners Alvin Tresselt and Roger Duvoisin, The
Frog in the Well is the charming tale of a brave frog who beats his
fears and explores the world
Once upon a time there was a frog who lived at the bottom of a well. The
well was the frog's whole world, until the day the well ran dry and the
bugs began to disappear. What was happening to the world, the frog
wondered, and what could he do? The hungry frog decided he must hop to
the top of the well to see what he could of the end of the world.
Conquering his fear, he peered out, and what did he see? Trees, flowers,
meadows, marshes, and all kinds of end-of-the-world creatures!
Entranced, the little frog ventured forth to find out more about the
world outside his own. Based on a classic Chinese fable, and written and
illustrated by the Caldecott-winning Alvin Tresselt and Roger Duvoisin,
The Frog in the Well is a charming tale of one brave frog and his
journey into wisdom.
