Among the Pond People
Clara Dillingham Pierson and F. C. Gordon
The biggest frog wakes up, and the pond's whole social season begins. Sand-hill cranes dance, a young minnow refuses his dinner, and stickleback fathers fuss over their nests in Pierson's warm underwater neighborhood. Pond biology dressed as bedtime comedy, and accurate to boot. Wade in for a story before lights out. Please note: this is the text of the story only. It has no pictures, so it is meant for a grown-up to read aloud rather than for a child to read alone. The illustrated experience of this story is the audiobook edition on Littletone.
