When Foo meets a creature much bigger than he, his self-image gets a much-needed adjustment. Foo the Frog is the biggest animal on the pond - and he won't let his friends forget it. But is he the biggest animal on Earth, as he claims? While Foo sleeps, his friends see an elephant. He won't believe them, and he puffs himself up as big as he can get - until suddenly he is carried away on the breeze! But being aloft only inflates his ego...until a few run-ins with curious beaks send him falling back to Earth, deflated. And whom should the unlucky Foo encounter now? The elephant! How tiny he feels. Luckily his friends are there too - and for the first time it's their friendship alone that makes Foo feel big!
