商品簡介
You might walk right by a vernal pool and not notice it. Often mistaken for mere puddles in the woods, vernal pools are the source of life for many interesting creatures. If you look carefully, you can find them and be amazed! These secret pools form every year when low places on the forest floor fill up with rain and melted snow. They soon become home to hatching wood frogs, spotted salamanders, and fairy shrimp. Even in late summer and fall, when many vernal pools have shrunk to mud holes, creatures such as turtles and snakes rely on them for shelter and food. The Secret Pool introduces young readers to the wonders right underfoot as the voice of a vernal pool shares its secrets through the seasons, and sidebars provide fun facts on its inhabitants and the crucial role these small, often overlooked wetlands play in maintaining a healthy environment.The paperback edition includes new backmatter features about wetland habitats and animals for classroom use and reader interest.
作者簡介
Kimberly Ridley is a science writer and editor who is passionate about the natural world. She is a contributing editor to Down East and co-editor of Signs of Hope: In Praise of Ordinary Heroes. Her articles and essays have appeared in the Boston Globe, the Christian Science Monitor, Ode Magazine, and many other print and online venues. When Kimberly isn't writing or helping scientists tell their stories in her work as a communications consultant, she is usually poking around the woods, wetlands, and seashore near her home in down east Maine. An avid birder and naturalist, she never leaves home without her binoculars, hand lens, notebook, and green rubber boots. Rebekah Raye is an artist beloved for her bird and animal paintings and sculpture, but lately she has been spending a lot of time looking for spotted salamanders and frogs and fairy shrimp on nighttime outings with Kim Ridley. Rebekah's warm, expressive work is derived from her affinity with the natural world around her studio and home in East Blue Hill, Maine. She illustrated Thanks to the Animals by Allen Sockabasin and is the author and illustrator of The Very Best Bed and Bear-ly There. Rebekah shares her skills and her love of art in workshops for adults and children and makes frequent school visits.
