Clara D. Pierson's Among the ... People series features short stories originally written to entertain and teach the children of her kindergarten. Each story introduces them to the animals found around them, many of which have a sweet moral at the end guiding children to act and behave in the right manner. Among the Pond People contains 18 sweet stories, all illustrated with beautiful color photographs of many animals featured. Children will love delving beneath the surface to learn the tales of The Stickleback Father, The Tadpole who Wanted to be Grown-Up, The Slow Little Mud Turtle, The Snappy Snapping Turtle, The Crayfish Mother, and Playful Muskrats, and many more pond-dwellers. Be sure to pick up the other books in the Among the ... People series with gorgeous new illustrations also available from Living Book Press.
