If you look carefully, you can find them and be amazed! These
secret pools form every year when low places on the forest floor
fill up with rain and melted snow. They soon become home to
hatching wood frogs, spotted salamanders, and fairy shrimp. Even in
late summer and fall, when many vernal pools have shrunk to mud
holes, creatures such as turtles and snakes rely on them for
shelter and food. The Secret Pool introduces young readers to the
wonders right underfoot as the voice of a vernal pool shares its
secrets through the seasons, and sidebars provide fun facts on its
inhabitants and the crucial role these small, often overlooked
wetlands play in maintaining a healthy environment. This edition
includes new backmatter features about wetland habitats and animals
for classroom use and reader interest.
Narrated in the poetic voice of the estuary itself, and accompanied
by natural-history sidebars about estuary plants, animals, and
cycles, THE SECRET BAY is another topnotch nature book from the
author and illustrator of the award-winning, bestselling The Secret
Pool. A stand-alone book and a stunning companion volume to Ridley
and Raye's award-winning Secret Pool. Ridley deftly augments the
estuary's lyrical narrative voice with sidebars about the plants,
animals, and natural processes of an estuary. Raye's gorgeous
watercolors reveal new features and hidden treats with each
reading. Back matter includes The Estuary Food Web, Great Escapes
(how estuary animals avoid predators), and an author's note about
the challenges facing estuaries. A perfect book for the budding
naturalist and for his or her parents and teachers. Fountas &
