Summary

Author Kent D. Walsh ("Uncle Kent") once again delightfully delves into the special inner lives of the animal kingdom. This new adventure introduces readers to Thaddeus T., a tadpole who has not quite yet grown into a frog. After the disappearance of his father, Thaddeus T. is befriended by a wise and gentle old bullfrog named Barnaby, who helps educate Thaddeus T. as the two make the challenging journey across the pond. Their goal is to reach a secret fishing spot where they can go "fly-fishing." But along the way, they run into a colorful cast of characters who make their journey as eventful as can be! Filled with fantasy and humor, the story also contains important lessons for every child, including minding your parents, helping others in need even if they are "different," and the importance of making friends.
