I thought this book was very fun and easy to read because it had many facts about animals that lived in the swamps. My favorite animals in the book were a turtle, dragonfly, frog and ducks. The most disgusting thing in the book was a paddling beetle. I really liked the artwork; it almost looked like they were real photographs! I really like the water snakes. A fact I liked about the dragonfly was that the compound eyes of some species of dragonfly are so close together they sometimes meet on the top of the head. I also liked how “Near One Cattail” rhymed, with each animal or insect having a poem about them.
