A new garden pond proves fascinating for Albert. Especially when he befriends an unusual underwater creature. But one day, his new friend vanishes and Albert is sad. He keeps checking to see if they have returned. His other garden chums do their best to cheer him up. But there is no sign – right up to Albert’s long winter sleep. Will the spring bring a happy reunion when Albert wakes and returns to the outdoors?
