About the author

Alvin Tresselt (1916-2000) was born in New Jersey. He was an editor for Humpty Dumpty magazine and an executive editor for Parent’s Magazine Press before becoming an instructor and the Dean of Faculty for the Institute of Children’s Literature in Connecticut. He wrote over thirty children’s books, selling over a million copies. Although White Snow, Bright Snow won the Caldecott Medal in 1948, his best-known book is a retelling of the Ukranian folk tale The Mitten. Tresselt was a pioneer in children’s writing, well known for his poetic prose style. He created the “mood” picture book, in which the setting and description for a story was even more important than the characters and plot.

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 immediate surroundings, experiencing new places and meeting different people.

قورباغه ای که تک و تنها در ته چاهی زندگی می کند و هر انچه می خواهد برایش فراهم است!
اما با خشک شدن چاه مجبور می شود برود ببیند که در انتهای جهان چه خبر است. بالاخره کنجکاویش گل می کند و جلوتر و جلوتر می رود تا به انتهای دنیا نزدیک تر شود!

قورباغه‌ای که فکر می‌کرد چاهش همه‌ی دنیاست.

از کتاب‌های کودکی برادر و خواهر بزرگم که به من رسیده

و من تا قبل از ۱۰ ۱۱ سالگی که شروع به کتاب خریدن کردم این کتاب رو بارها بارها خوندم
صفحه آخر کتاب من پاره شده ولی فقط یک جمله توش نوشته که خواناست و من همیشه خوشحال بودم که طوری پاره شده که بازم فهمیدم تهش چی میشه :))

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.

This is the voyage of discovery of a frog who lives at the bottom of a well all alone and thinks that is the entire world. When the well dries up he ventures 'up, up, up. One rock at a time' to see what the end of the world looks like. He's delighted to discover the world keeps getting bigger, meeting a cow with her barn, birds with their bull rushes and the deer, fox, squirrel and bear in the woods. He follows the brook, delighted by the feel of the rain on his back and then meets up with millions of other croaking frogs - hurrah.

Best bits: 'A foolish frog can be happy all alone at the bottom of a well, but a clever frog can be much happier out here' in the wider world in the middle of a million singing frogs in the rain!! Let this be my parable for 2015 xx

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).

Charming and beautifully illustrated take on Plato's allegory of the cave.

Frog In The Well

Aku mengenal buku ini dari lirik lagu MORE milik j-hope. Meski buku ini adalah buku anak, namun buku ini akan memberimu pengajaran yang luar biasa dengan durasi waktu terlampau singkat.

Seperti katak yang ada di dalam sumur, dia merasa bahwa dunia hanya sebatas sumur, dia telah merasa kehidupannya begitu tercukupi sehingga tak butuh lagi untuk keluar dari sumur. Kita sering kali merasa telah begitu menguasai suatu bidang hanya karena kita satu-satunya yang paling jago di ladang kita. Kita lupa bahwa dunia ini begitu luas, sehingga kita merasa bertinggi hati dan tak mau melihat yang lain.

Suatu kreativitas seharusnya tak terbatas, kita bisa mendapatkan banyak inspirasi dari dunia yang begitu luas melalui cerita orang lain, buku atau pun tempat-tempat lainnya. Seperti katak yang pada akhirnya keluar dari sumur karena makanan telah habis, kita perlu untuk melihat dunia luar untuk mengasah kreativitas diri kita, Membuatnya tak terbatas dan melampauinya.

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!

[Elizabeth · Rating 4 out of 5]

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!

Completely charming. It made my morning :-)

[Jeff Lewonczyk · Rating 5 out of 5]

We've all been the frog in the well, and we've all gone on to discover a larger world. Thank you Alvin Tresselt, but especially (always) Roger Duvoisin!

lovely book about a frog who discovers the world outside of his well and makes other animal friends

[Willow · Rating 5 out of 5]

A solitary frog learns that the world is bigger than himself and his little home in the well.

[شایسته · Rating 2 out of 5]

خیلی کلمه داره. خیلی کم راه باقی می‌ذاره واسه این‌که بچه خودش چیزی کشف کنه. نتیجه می‌گیره. "باید" و "نباید" داره، خوب و بد، دانا و نادان. خلاصه احتمالا آموزنده است ولی من خوشم نمیاد از این سبک آموزش.

تصویرگریش رو خیلیییی دوست داشتم 💕🌳 اما داستانش معمولی بود.

[Sepideh Shafiee · Rating 4 out of 5]

بسیار عالی حتی برای بچه های سنین بالاتر جهت بحث و بررسی درباره فلسفه زندگی و دگم نبودن روی عقایت و پذیرش ناقص بودن تجربه زیسته انسانها
