About the Author
Acclaimed for his picture books that speak directly to young naturalists, Jim Arnosky enjoys researching different ecological areas with his wife, Deanna. His many awards and honors include the Washington Post—Children's Book Guild Award for overall contribution to nonfiction for children and the Eva L. Gordon Award for outstanding children's science literature. He has also written and illustrated numerous ALA Notable Books and Outstanding Science Books. Home base for the Arnoskys is a two-hundred-year-old farmhouse in northern Vermont. Their daughters and their families live nearby.
From School Library Journal
Grade 1-4-An up-close look at swamps and the birds and animals that live in them. Through full-page acrylic paintings, Arnosky depicts raccoons, alligators, and egrets, all of which he has seen in his own expeditions. The artwork is accompanied by text either on the facing page or set in boxes within the illustrations. Small pen-and-ink drawings reminiscent of those found in sketchbooks contribute to the book's personal tone. The narrative consists of the author's memories and reflections along with selective bits of information about the creatures shown in the paintings. The rather poetic text may be somewhat challenging for newly independent readers. However, the story is a simple one, and the descriptive language combines nicely with the attractive pictures, making this a wonderful read-aloud. With a guide as knowledgeable and enthusiastic as Arnosky, youngsters are sure to come away from this tour with a new appreciation for swamps and a desire to do some exploring on their own.
