Illustrator: Tony Ross
Boris the waterbeetle, discontented with his lot at the bottom of the pond, decides to venture UP with his brother Ben, to see what lies beyond the surface of the pond.
On their journey, they meet Mr Minnow, attend an all-night party with the Tadpoles and eat breakfast at the Surface Cafe, before finally coming face to face with the feared Toptoads!
This comical tale of social aspirations complemented by entertaining illustrations, shows that with ambition, determination and co-operation, anything can be achieved. A highly enjoyable, amusing picture book.
