In “The Web at Dragonfly Pond” the boy goes fishing with his dad just like we go fishing with dad.  The boy in the book is 10 though and I am only 6.  The boy is getting bit up by mosquitoes and he doesn’t like it.  It isn’t fun to get mosquito bites.  Then his dad tells him that the mosquitoes are doing their job.  The mosquitoes feed the other things by the lake.

A dragonfly eats the mosquitoes, and then a frog eats him, and then a fish eats him.
My favorite picture in the book was the one of the fish eating the frog.  I liked thinking about how all of those things eat the other things.  Then we eat the fish after we catch it.  In “The Web at Dragonfly Pond” I learned all of those things need all of the other things to live.  So, mosquitoes are important even if they are annoying and bite you.
