Beautiful illustrations and a good story too. I love Roger Duvoisin's unique and distinctive style, carefully chosen block colour with some black line drawing on top. The end papers are a wonderful repeat frog pattern that would make the most beautiful pyjama print. There's a lovely 60's feel to the artwork. There's a beautiful page of forest animals that look like they are painted so freely and with ease-wonderful. A nice message about considering the world around you and looking beyond your im

Illustrated by Roger Duvoisin. Need I say more?
This was so cute!
Oh I do so love this book. It still has a handwritten 'ticket' tucked into its binding from when I decided to make my book collection into a library (following in my librarian mother's footsteps - sssshhhhush).
I rediscovered this when my niece came to stay last year and I read it to her and we both loved the story and the illustrations. She (my niece, 6) is an excellent artist.

Completely charming. It made my morning :-)
Frog leaves his well and immediately is confronted with an epistemological and existential crisis, through which he [spoiler alert!] arises, a more deeply satisfied frog.
Could be a good story telling tale- deep, cute and fun. (and could get pretty funny).
A tale (beautifully illustrated) about broadening one's horizons. The frog starts out all alone in a well and after a journey beyond the well meets up with many, many frogs!

2 frogs lived together but the marsh was all dried up. They found a deep well to live in, but the one frog said how would we get out. Think twice before you act.
I'm so glad Alvin Tresselt wrote this cute book so that Roger DuVoisin could do such a wonderful job illustrating it!
