The pond is home to a tadpole and a minnow, two under-water friends.
When the tadpole inevitably grows into a frog and moves onto land, a new world unfolds before his eyes. What he relates to his old friend during a chance reunion is enough to spark any fish's imagination, and it makes the minnow want to follow in the frog's footsteps.
"With his accustomed subtle interplay of graphic wit, clear language and plain thinking, Lionni wisely proves that a minnow's grasp should not exceed his oxygen supply——that there's lots to be said for the life of even a small fish in a small pond" ——The New York Times
