Kurtz, Kevin. A Day in a Forested Wetland. Illustrator Sherry Neidigh. Arbordale Publishing, 2018. $9.95. ISBN 9781628559132. Unpaged. Ages 4-9. P7Q8

A Day in a Forested Wetland takes readers on a rhythmic journey into life in the wetlands. Each double-page spread is filled with bold, intricately designed images drawing the reader further into the wonder and raw beauty of the wetland habitat.

Verdict: This book will be a good addition to any K-2 classroom or library read aloud lesson for work with rhyme, vocabulary, sentence fluency, and lessons for the Next Generation Science Standards in the area of Life Science.
