Illustrated by
Harvey Chan.
A man ponders the time he spent as a child exploring a bog with his grandfather. The text celebrates both the intergenerational relationship and the wonders of nature. The attractive sepia-toned sketches give the book a nostalgic feel but don't offer an adequate vision of a bog environment. Since a purpose of the book is informational, this is a drawback.
