Grumble is a salamander with a long tail and little legs and enormous eyes that are good at searching in the deep dark of the cave where he lives. Quib is his best friend, a little frog who can't see very well. Together, they venture--for the very first time--out of the cave they call home. It's the adventure of a lifetime.
