Riparia's River

At the back of the book is a list of the animals that appear in the story and an invitation to find them all. This lively story about non-point source pollution is filled with both
information and action. Realistic, lush illustrations by Olga Pastuchiv
illuminate the children's passion for their river and the ecosystem it
supports.
