Summary
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.

What They're Saying
Critics Review
“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.” —The New York Times “A superior book, simple, but eye-catching.” —School Library Journal. “If the picture book is a new visual art form in our time, Leo Lionni is certain to be judged a master of the genre.” —The New York Times
About The Author
Leo Lionni
Leo Lionni was an internationally known designer, illustrator, and graphic artist. Born in Holland, he lived in Italy until he came to the United States in 1939. He received the 1984 American Institute of Graphic Arts Gold Medal and was honored posthumously in 2007 with the Society of Illustrators’ Lifetime Achievement Award.
Lionni’s picture books are distinguished by their enduring moral themes, graphic simplicity, and brilliant use of collage. They include four Caldecott Honor Books: Inch by Inch, Frederick, Swimmy, and Alexander and the Wind-Up Mouse.
Hailed as “a master of the simple fable” by the Chicago Tribune, Lionni died in 1999 at the age of 89.
