Once Upon A Pond

Written and illustrated by Peter Simon

Once Upon A Pond

Frog, Fish, and Turtle are very happy living in the beautiful pond. Fish swims between the reeds, Frog sunbathes on the lily pads, and Turtle makes a comfortable home amongst the rocks. Their idyllic home is also attractive to people who build their houses near the pond. But when the people take away the cattails and replace them with nice grass that they can sit on, in move the geese and out move Frog, Fish, and Turtle. A simple tale of a sustainable development, beautifully illustrated.
