Why read it?
2 authors picked Beyond the Pond as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I love nothing more than books that engage with the imagination of a child. Worlds of possibility are revealed when we allow our imaginations to lead us along. Ernest D. finds a new world inside his home pond. All it takes is a glance into the water for an adventure to unfold.

From Rachel's list on turning natural world into imaginative wonderland.
This is a beautifully done book, from the illustrations to the whimsical story. What I love about this book is that although there is so much to see in nature, there is also a lot to imagine. This book nicely combines the beauty of nature with the beauty of imagination.
