Song of the Water Boatman & Other Pond Poems by Joyce Sidman. il Beckie Prange.
Houghton Mifflin Company: Boston, 2005.
Caldecott Honor 2006

As with most collections, some of the poems resonate better than others. The accompanying woodcut illustrations are remarkable. I also like the biology facts given for each creature. The collection is an observation of life and the food chain surrounding ponds.
RL=3rd-5th and read aloud

The illustrator's note says more woodcuts can be viewed at www.wildlifewoodcuts.com.
