Daisy Dawson and the Secret Pond

(4) 1-3 Illustrated by Jessica Meserve. Daisy Dawson, who can talk with animals, investigates an out-of-the-way otter pond with some squirrels and a dog pal. After a storm rolls in, a double rescue strengthens Daisy's animal friendships, old and new alike. Though the text's incorporation of habitat facts is forced (as is some of the humor), animal lovers will enjoy Daisy's kindhearted capers, shown in pastoral ink-and-pencil sketches.
