**
Using cumulative verse, this book introduces children to the birds,
bass, minks, muskrats, frogs, snakes and others that live in wetland
environments, while giving young readers an understanding of how each
creature is inextricably linked together in the chain of life.**
The wetland is a murky, moist, and mysterious world. Atop its glittering
surface and beneath its shadowy depths, numerous animals struggle to
survive and flourish. Madeleine Dunphy's lyrical prose shows the
relationships between the wetland's plants and animals, giving young
readers a clear picture of how each living creature depends on the
others for survival. Illustrator Wayne McLoughlin adds stunning visuals,
with luminous, detailed paintings that convey the fragile beauty and
complexity of this critically important ecological community.
