Summary: Realistic wildlife illustrations enhance the day's journey
Review: Although the facts presented here are nonfiction, the plot reads like fiction, blending an ecological study of a pond's life with descriptions of different animals' lives. Bob Marstall's realistic wildlife illustrations enhance the day's journey on Butternut Hollow Pond.

Summary: grown up kids book being marketed as a juvenile book
Review: The pictures are top notch. The writing, give me a break. What elementary age child wants to decipher each sentence for the meaning. " the sky blushed... the water is dapple in a confetti of pale light" Parents read it yourself and just talk about what the pictures represent, you know what your child understands. It's a grown up kids book being marketed as a juvenile book.
