Over and under

"Discover the hidden magic of the Everglades in this . . . exploration of the wetland habitat . . . takes readers on a journey into . . . Florida's Everglades National Park. Over the swamp, the barred owl hoots, and the great egret swoops down on snowy wings. The slow mazes of waterways are quiet with the shush of reeds and grasses. But under the swamp's soft shadows, there's a whole hidden world of panthers and orchids, red-bellied turtles and raccoons, lurking alligators and singing frogs. This . . . illustrated nonfiction picture book reveals all the . . . creatures living just out of sight in the branches and depths over and under the wetland"--Publisher.

Under the canopy of the rainforest, hundreds of animals make their homes--from the slender parrot snake to the colorful poison dart frog. But up in the trees hides a whole other world, where toucans and pale-billed woodpeckers chatter and call, capuchin monkeys swing from the vines, and sleek-furred jaguars rule the night.
