Description
A summer night by a small pond reveals a world of activity. Mayflies dart, beetles dive, frogs spring, skunks shuffle, and owls swoop. Betsy Franco's rhythmic text brings this lively scene to life, accompanied by Stefano Vitale's luminous paintings that capture the bold beauty of nature. This book is a great introduction to the natural world, encouraging young readers to explore their own surroundings and discover the wonder of the living, breathing world around them. The cumulative text makes it a lively read-aloud experience. The book features beautiful, full-color illustrations that bring the pond's inhabitants to life.
