The chief character of Whiskers Pond is Mort, a young green frog. Throughout the winter hibernation, Mort has unsettling dreams of a menace that threatens the very existence of his pond.
But his dreams are too vague. He can't identify the danger.
When spring arrives, Mort awakens and begins to experience his first full year as an adult frog, learning first hand the intricate balance and complex relationships among all the different creatures of the pond.
