Book Overview

A timely, award-winning first book on wetlands for young naturalists and conservationists. A classroom favorite!

Love this entire series

I have ordered every book I can find by this author, illustrator couple. I find their material to be simple, informative, and very respectful of nature. I homeschool and my children are 6 and under. I was blown away when my four year old used the word "habitat" correctly in a sentence recently and I knew it was from reading these books. We recently visited a nature preserve in Florida and I was delighted to recognize that it was a cypress marsh pictured in this very book!
