What's in the Pond?

32 pp. | Houghton | September, 1999 | Trade ISBN 0-395-91224-5 $$4.95
(4) K-3 These small, square books offer brief descriptions of ten animals that make their home in a pond (e.g., mayfly, frog, muskrat) or under a log (e.g., cricket, eft, chipmunk). The listless text strings together a few facts about diet, behavior, and size. Each paragraph-long profile is paired with a softly realistic watercolor and pencil drawing. Ultimately, these packages are more attractive than instructional.
