From School Library Journal PreSchool-Grade 2-As the animals that live in or around a pond begin their day， three pajama-clad children come out to watch. The text starts off as a cumulative story， but after every third spread， the cumulation begins again， so that for a frog， fish， and snails "it's wake-up time at the pond"; for salamanders， grasshoppers， a turtle， and birds "it's stretching time"; for dragonflies， the old toad， ducks， and geese "it's singing time"-and for the youngsters-it's all three. Bright watercolor cartoons are drawn with childlike simplicity. The text is printed on generally light or white parts of the page in a nice large typeface， and animal sounds are printed in sans-serif， freehand letters. A serviceable but unmemorable addition.Rosanne Cerny， Queens Borough Public Library， NYCopyright 1994 Reed Business Information， Inc. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
