Witty poems and luminous illustrations celebrate a day at the pond.

Duck, Frog, and Fish live in the pond and introduce readers to their home: showing what plants grow on the banks, which plants thrive in the pond water, and even what tadpoles look like.

"It's so hot outside. All the fancy birds are gathered around the water, wishing they could cool off. But they don't want to get wet and ruin their fine feathers. Oddbird isn't worried about his feathers; he wants to go for a refreshing dip. But he doesn't fit in. He's not fancy, or colorful. He's just--different. The other birds don't want him around. How can he join them?"--Provided by publisher.

"A beginning reader book containing three stories featuring Frog and his friends where Frog joins a singing group, helps rescue a baby bird, and is scared by a nighttime story"--Provided by publisher.
