Among the Pond People

"Among the Pond People" by Clara Dillingham Pierson is a collection of engaging stories for young readers, designed to introduce them to the hidden lives of creatures living in and around a pond. The narrative starts with an introduction of ten polliwogs learning about their neighbors. From tales of frogs waking up in the spring to lively interactions between different species like frogs and minnows, these narratives paint a charming picture of life in a pond. With a blend of education and entertainment, Pierson’s stories create a sense of wonder, allowing young readers to experience the pond through the eyes of its inhabitants, as they play, share, and tackle challenges in their natural world.
