Photographs by
Jason Stemple.
Each cleanly composed double-page spread features a well-reproduced nature photograph of an animal in or near water, a sometimes obtuse poem about the animal and its reflection, and some random captionlike information pertaining to the animal. The narrow subject lends a sameness to the whole, but readers may enjoy slowing down to reflect on the concept.
