Reissue (1958, Lothrop)
(2) 1-3 Illustrated by Roger Duvoisin. A green frog lives happily, alone, at the bottom of a well; when the well dries up, he ventures up and out and discovers a much bigger world than he thought--including a lake full of other frogs. First published in 1958, Tresselt's text is lengthy but well paced; Duvoisin's richly hued illustrations capture the frog's personality as well as the beauty of the natural world.
