“Heinz introduces readers to the drama of nature in this day-in-the-life look at Butternut Hollow Pond, where hunters become hunted and creatures all play a part in a complex, interdependent life cycle. Water striders, dragonflies, mallard ducks, snapping turtles, and many other animals appear in Marstall’s detailed illustrations.”

The Horn Book Guide
“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.”
