In this delightful children’s story, we follow the adventures of Timmy Gills as he spends a day away from home exploring the Great Pond, after his mother gives him permission to go. "I am not afraid," says Timmy. But as he confronts the dangers of the pond, far from the safety of the cove where he was born, he finds he is afraid. He encounters a mysterious, scary, dark hole, rough street-fish, and even a fishhook, but he also finds caring fish willing to help. Through it all, Timmy learns that he may not know all he thinks he knows. He realizes that he needs to study hard, and then he will be wise enough to swim the whole pond.
