Offering a child's perspective of the natural world through the lens of a youth photographer, this story follows Buddy the beaver around his pond. As Buddy's experiences unfold, his friends are introduced -- Norman the bald eagle, Peeps the peeper frog, and Cards the cardinal -- and each animal's relationship to the environment is explained. With vibrant photography and informative text, the pond and its inhabitants come to life.
