Neighbors: The Water Critters - Tapa dura

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.

These neighbors glide through the waters or bask on the rocks. They're wet, like you in the bathtub. They need pure water to live, feed, and breed...like us.
