Henry Pond the toad is determined to impress the charming Victoria Garden-Pool, but she scorns his poetic efforts preferring instead 'toads of action'. So when Larry Lake, his rival for the lovely Victoria, threatens him with a good hiding, Henry has to draw on his hitherto undiscovered agility to win his lady's heart. Once again Dick King-Smith demonstrates his ability to create real literature for newly independent readers.
