Why we like it at Happy Little Tadpole:
We love how the illustrator shows us scenes we usually don’t get to see since they are underwater. It provides a look into a natural habitat that’s usually hidden from sight. We love the way this story is written, both calming and poetic while also informative and fun to look at.
Gift Pairing Idea: Make it into a gift set by pairing it with a GUND Frog Plush Toy for an underwater pond animal themed gift set!
