A stunning full color wordless exploration of marshland life enables close observation of the plants and creatures sharing that habitat. An ingenious page design creates a continuous panel of the double spreads showing pond activity above and below water. The back endpapers display black and white reduced replicas of all the paintings with labels facilitating identification of the plants, animals, birds and insects in the preceding pages. (Ages 3-9)

Illustrations present a wordless panorama of the marshy wetlands where a variety of fish, birds, animals, and plants share a habitat.
