conservation message is both accessible and lovely." —Kirkus
Reviews
"The book's design gives equal weight to the words and pictures,
which work together very well. . . . Beautiful in their
composition, color, and sense of motion, these paintings portray
scenes on six continents, helping viewers visualize common elements
of rivers and streams in different habitats worldwide. . . . Well
suited for classroom use, the book provides a handsome introduction
to the topic." —Booklist
