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.
