After Curtis, a young frog, discovers that his father was a famous wrestler, he tells everyone. When crowds start coming to see Big Daddy wrestle in the back yard, a wrestling agent sends him on a world tour. Although they write letters, Big Daddy and Curtis miss each other and Big Daddy comes back home. Illustrations of bug-eyed frogs enhance this sweet but slight story.
