The story chronicles the misadventures of Mr. Jeremy Fisher, a frog living by a pond. One rainy day he puts on his macintosh and goloshes and sets out to fish for minnows for dinner. He takes his lily-leaf boat and settles down with his rod in the middle of the pond. After an hour of no results, he gets tired and takes a break for lunch, a butterfly sandwich. What happened next – you will learn from this book.
