Summary "The Adventures of Grandfather Frog" by Thornton W. Burgess is a children's literature piece written in the early 20th century. This engaging story follows Grandfather Frog's humorous and adventurous journey into the world outside his beloved Smiling Pool. Filled with charming animal characters, it explores themes of curiosity, stubbornness, and the lessons learned from experiences in the wider world. The story begins with Grandfather Frog's encounter with other woodland creatures, highlighting his humorous interactions and the pranks played on him by Billy Mink and Little Joe Otter. As the narrative unfolds, Grandfather Frog's curiosity leads him to venture out of the Smiling Pool to discover the Great World, resulting in a series of comical escapades and misadventures. From being pursued by a hungry hawk to unwittingly finding himself at the mercy of Farmer Brown's boy and his cat, Grandfather Frog learns about the dangers that lurk outside the familiar comforts of home. Ultimately, he realizes the value of his safe haven and decides that perhaps it's best to remain in the Smiling Pool, appreciating the wisdom that comes with age and experience.
