(3) K-3 Illustrated by Rebekah Raye. "You might mistake me for a puddle...I most certainly am not!" Vernal pools, temporary bodies of water on forest floors in springtime, are critical to the life cycles of their amphibian, invertebrate, and microorganism inhabitants. Lyrical passages about vernal-pool life are accompanied by highly informative sidebars; Raye's jam-packed, woodsy illustrations call for close examination. A welcome addition to books on natural habitats. Glos.
