Over and Under the Pond
Kate Messner, illustrated by Christopher Silas Neal
A boy and his mother paddle a canoe on a pond as sunset nears, observing activity above the water and considering the life beneath it. Blackbirds, moose, fish, frogs, caddisfly larvae, beavers, and tadpoles appear in paired scenes that contrast what is visible with what the mother knows. End matter adds information about the pond ecosystem and the animals’ behavior.
