Maggie
and her little brother Tate are visiting their
grandparents’ lake cabin when they discover two
pairs of really weird, old goggles with leather
straps in a dusty old trunk in the attic. Down at
the lake with their goggles, the kids discover the
magic goggles make them as light as a damselfly and
let them see right through lily pads to the
underwater forest below.
When a
mother wood duck befriends the duo and sees how they
like exploring the shoreline, she takes them for a
flying ride around the lake to get a bird’s-eye
view. From this viewpoint they see that the deep
blue jewel of a lake is surrounded by a forest of
green, a summer camp, and a few houses located way
back from the water. Based on what they’ve seen,
Mama Duck explains how all the trees make the lake a
good spot to raise a family.
This
book’s descriptive text and rich, detailed
illustrations will boost readers’ understanding
about the importance of forests around lakes, while
luring them into discovering their own magic at the
lake.
