Beautiful over and under simultaneous descriptions, including some "over" animals and birds (such as herons and otters) that sometimes go under the surface of the water. Includes an excellent indexed catalogue of all the animals in the book.ĭave: 4.5 stars. Gorgeous artwork, incredible aerial views, unusual tall book size that enhances the sense of depth and the over and under element, great use of sound devices-onomatopeia, alliiteration, assonance. I like how we the readers get to see all the changes that take place in the animals's lives. I got to see just how many animals are under the surface of the pond that I never see. There were several paintings that depict the over and under the pond perspectives I liked a lot. This is book #19 of 2017, and is one of my and our favorites of the year. Everyone rates each book and adds a comment and it may (or may not) affect my overall rating. Each year my family reads all the Goodreads-award-nominated picture books, and we have been doing this for years.
