Summary
Albinius the frog is the self-appointed scholar of the pond — certain he knows more than everyone else. So when a turtle arrives at the pond and claims to be a scholar too, Albinius refuses to listen. Instead, he challenges the turtle to a Knowledge Game to prove who’s smartest of all. But will knowing the most really make Albinius the winner … or will he learn something even more important? 🐸🐢📚
