(3) K-3 Illustrated by Bob Marstall. Heinz describes the course of the day from dawn to night in a pond. The food chain, and the many close escapes involved in animals' attempts to eat one another, provide narrative momentum and some suspense. The warm, detailed illustrations encourage the reader to sympathize with the animals and their quest for survival, while the matter-of-fact tone of the text eschews sentimentality.
