3.0

I loved the illustrations--LOVED. They reminded me of Walter Anderson. The caddis fly was my favorite. The poetry was nice, but I liked the descriptions of pond life better.

I loved this! Not only are the poems and illustrations great, but each poem is paired with a fascinating informational paragraph. I had never heard of the microscopic water bear. Did you know that it can live for decades out of water in a shriveled-up barrel shape until it is blown back into some water? Then it swells up again and resumes its normal life as a water bear!
