Hank (11). 4.ane stars. I like how we the readers become to see all the changes that take place in the animals's lives.

Jenn (developed family friend): v stars. Gorgeous artwork, incredible aerial views, unusual alpine book size that enhances the sense of depth and the over and under element, neat use of sound devices--onomatopeia, alliiteration, assonance. Includes an splendid indexed catalogue of all the animals in the book.

Dave: four.5 stars. Beautiful over and nether simultaneous descriptions, including some "over" animals and birds (such as herons and otters) that sometimes go nether the surface of the h2o. The book is a smart volume about the importance of ecosystem, and the importance of our valuing what nosotros don't see sometimes.

And aye, I too certainly do very much appreciate that illustrator Christopher Silas Neal depicts the African-American mother and child as something unspectacular and natural, that there thus are no textual allusions whatever as to their ethnicity fabricated by writer Kate Messner, with her narrative simply and beautifully showing what could be whatever mother and child enjoying a quiet boating sojourn on a local pond, exploring the flora and fauna both to a higher place and below the waterline. With Christopher Silas Neal's illustrations providing a visually realistic but also imaginative mirror to and for Kate Messner'due south featured text (and I have in particular enjoyed his sense and apply of colour and how successfully and interestingly he depicts changes in visual perspective), Over and Under the Pond celebrates both family and nature, and how the latter tin easily be experienced and enjoyed with gentleness and quiet ecological observation (with of course for me, the supplemental information on the brute species encountered and the suggestions for further reading at the dorsum of Over and Under the Pond being appreciated added educational bonuses).

Just in time for spring and especially for Globe Day, Kate Messner gives her young readers Over and Nether the Pond, a cute companion to her previous books Over and Nether the Snow and Upward in the Garden and Down in the Clay.

As a curious immature boy and his mother paddle around a pond in their rowboat, he asks his mother what's under the h2o's surface. His female parent tells him in that location's a hole-and-corner globe underneath their boat, a world of minnows, crayfish, turtles, bullfrogs, and tadpoles slowly growing

Merely in time for spring and especially for Earth Solar day, Kate Messner gives her young readers Over and Under the Pond, a beautiful companion to her previous books Over and Nether the Snow and Up in the Garden and Down in the Clay.

As a curious young boy and his mother paddle around a pond in their rowboat, he asks his mother what's under the water's surface. His female parent tells him there's a secret world underneath their boat, a world of minnows, crayfish, turtles, bullfrogs, and tadpoles slowly growing into frogs, learning how to hop on newly developed legs.
At that place's fifty-fifty a beaver diving down into the depths of the swimming for some yummy roots to eat,

And there is only a much going on out the h2o and around the edge of the pond - a goldfinch getting ready for its commencement flight, a moose munching on water lilies, ospreys flying overhead, and raccoons scrounging upwardly some supper.

The pond is teeming with life in a higher place and below, all there for anyone who takes the time to quietly observe it. Its abundance of plants and animals grade an important ecosystem. As Messner explains in her Author's Note, sometimes this ecosystem is threatened past pollution or the loss of habitat. Information technology'due south of import to maintain these ponds and so that the cycle of life tin go on.

Besides her Writer's Notation, Messner includes additional information nigh all the creatures that depend on the pond, from the smallest caddisfly larvae to that large old moose and the role each one plays in nature. There is a lot to be learned in this volume and an ideal reference for anyone who might desire to brand their own explorations.

Christopher Silas Neal'due south mixed-media illustrations are the perfect compliment to Messner'southward lyrical text. A palette of muted, gently composite watery dejection, springy greens and browns all add to the feeling of the interconnectedness of nature. Neal has chosen to present the pond and the area surrounding it from various points of view: my favorite is the bird's heart view looking down, or maybe it'southward the fish eye view looking upwards, or perchance information technology's just all of them.

Over and Nether the Pond is an ideal book for young readers curious about the world they live in, for lover'southward of nature, protector's of the environment and everyone else. It is a book kids tin can return to again and once more.

The endnotes about the different creatures encountered in the book are copious. Possibly a piffling too copious (I found myself groaning when I saw how much I notwithstanding had left to read). However, those endnotes are what would make this book--and its ii companions--nifty to have in a classroom library. There's plenty to learn from these little stories, and a instructor could use these books equally a jumping-off betoken for future explorations.

Over and Nether the Pond is an informational text on the ecosystem of pond life. This book is informational while as well having a story and being story-like to students. A female parent and son become out on a swimming when the son starts request questions and the mom starts telling him most the pond life. Many different animals and plants are addressed, even ones that you would not think of with a pond. The mom talks about something that is out of the h2o in the swimming ecosystem and and then something that is nether Over and Under the Swimming is an advisory text on the ecosystem of pond life.

Many different animals and plants are addressed, fifty-fifty ones that you lot would not think of with a pond. The mom talks about something that is out of the water in the pond ecosystem and so something that is under the water. There is a pattern of the text in this book. This book is an interesting fashion to teach students about an ecosystem, but also have them reading a beautiful story. I would use this book with tertiary grade but because I feel similar 4th and 5th would think this was too simple or footling kid like, where tertiary graders could bask it and get information.
One way this book could exist used in a class is by integrating into science and having students go information on ponds out of the book. Students could track the information, make a presentation, etc. to where they would be required to read the book and filter the information that they are learning well-nigh ponds. Another way this book could exist used in a form is equally a "everyone" book in a read aloud. The teacher could read information technology aloud, then offering to permit students reread it to themselves since it is not a very circuitous book that students would struggle through. This would be a skillful book for struggling readers to pick up and read.
This was a WOW book for me considering I always presume advisory text is going to be something that is factual nonfiction and just teach me something, but this i was not. This was a story with information integrated into it that was enjoyable. Reminding students that informational text does not have to exist boring or just lists of information is important. ...more

Lots of fun interactive stuff, especially when they played the food web and nutrient chain game and got to run all around the classroom. And then yes, protecting the globe and all her creatures has always been a big priority for me.

I adored this beautiful book with the mother and son taking a slow canoe trip effectually the pond where they marveled over the beauty and awesomeness of nature. I wanted to be on that canoe trip with them equally they watched the circling osprey or noticed the beaver that had come to the surface with a mouth full of roots pulled from the swimming lesser. I wanted to listen to the audio of the loons as they called goodnight. I loved how the mom was teaching her son about how everything above and below the swimming was connected.
