Book Summary
Tombo the tadpole thinks he is the king of
the pond. He brags that he is the
biggest, the fastest, and the strongest tadpole, and teases and chases all the
other tadpoles. However, while
Tombo is showing off doing a triple flip, a boy catches him.
The boy puts him into a fish tank and gives him fish flakes to eat, a
food Tombo despises. When Tombo
turns into a frog, the boy releases him back into his pond.
Then Tombo discovers that he is no longer the biggest and fastest, but he
does learn the value of friendship.
In this superbly illustrated book, Sommer reveals the
importance of respect for others, forgiveness, and sportsmanship.
