Neighbors: The Water Critters

Third picture book in the NEIGHBORS series. Refers to certain fish, amphibians, and mammals we find in our oceans, rivers, lakes, streams, and ponds. Includes short accessible poems and collage illustrations of such critters as the Whale, Seahorse, Snapping Turtle, Minnow, and Salamander. The underlying message is that, like us, these critters need pure water to live, feed, and breed. With blurbs from naturalist Carl Safina and children's musician Jon Samson. Easily held and shared by parents, caregivers, and teachers eager to explore poetry and nature with their children/students.
