Let's Go to the Brook

Let's Go to the Brook is the fourth in a series of science-picture books by Harriet E. Huntington. Here is the pattern of a brook, from its smallest beginning, and all the fascinating life along it and in it as it wends its way over sand and stones, around rocks, in and out of the shallow parts and the deep parts.

Short sentences and simple text, combined with the striking photographs, make its life story a fascinating one for readers with an ordinary curiosity about what goes on outdoors. The author has organized, entertainingly and simple, facts about the plants that grow in the brook, about its busy animal life—the insects, from water skaters and toad bugs to the damselflies and the dragonflies, the fish, the snails, water worms, and others.
