“Highly recommended. Accurate and up-to-the-minute. Fun—and written in a style that children can access and absorb easily. I see many practical, interdisciplinary applications for the classroom, too. I can’t think of a better, more comprehensive resource for helping to introduce children, their parents, and their teachers to the concept of wetlands. The only thing missing is the smell of the wetlands—perhaps a scratch and sniff cover next time?” Cindy Duncan, Teacher Professional Development Coordinator, Chesapeake Bay Foundation Flesch-Kincaid Grade Level: 5.6
