    Gordon Morrison

    Hardcover (HMH Books for Young Readers, Sept. 30, 2002)
    As winter melts into spring, birds return to the pond, turtles and frogs crawl out of the holes in which they buried themselves through the cold months, and the trees at the water’s edge begin to bud. Witness the array of life in and around a pond throughout the course of a year. From the giant glaciers that carved the earth and melted to create the pond, to the microscopic plankton eaten by the mussels that slowly scoot along its bottom, no detail is too large or too small to be revealed and explained. Author and renowned nature artist Gordon Morrison transports readers to the pond’s edge to sit and enjoy the beauty and abundance of living things all around them. His detailed, masterful watercolor illustrations make this book as beautiful as it is informative.
