Over and Under the Pond

Written by Kate Messner and Illustrated by Christopher Silas Neal

Take a journey over and under a mountain pond to discover the busy ecosystem hidden beneath its surface. Above the water, animals move along the shore and through the air, while below, minnows dart, beavers dive, and tadpoles grow. As readers explore the pond from different perspectives, they learn how plants, animals, water, and their surroundings are connected. This beautifully illustrated nature story encourages curiosity about habitats, ecosystems, and the many living things that share the natural world.
