Near One Cattail: Turtles, Logs and Leaping Frogs
by Anthony D. Fredericks, illustrated by Jennifer DiRubbio —
What creatures live in a bog-boggy place?
From zip-zipping dragonflies to hip-hopping frogs, here’s a medley of critters who swim, soar or crawl in a wetlands home that protects one and all.
This engaging book is the fourth natural neighborhood to be portrayed by this author-illustrator duo.
Each of these books presents the creatures in their distinctive habitats as a community, a neighborhood in which they coexist together and sometimes interact.
In this book, cattails live in very lively wetlands that support an enormous number of species.
