Summary: A collection of poems that provide a look at some of the animals, insects, and plants that are found in ponds, with accompanying information about each.
Strengths: The illustrations are fantastic! It looks like the pictures are popping out of the page which almost looks three dimensional. The words take on different shapes in the presentation of the text. There is also a brief description and background information of each animal being described. The bright colors on the page drew me in.
Concerns: I would not have known about this book if it was not on the capital choice list and we were not required to read one on this list. It turned out to be a poem I could not put down and wanted to read more.
Age level: Elementary(3-4) and Upper(5-6)
Classroom Use: Learning about different animals and their habitats
