Denise Fleming's In the Small, Small Pond was a 1994 Caldecott Honor Book and remains one of the author/illustrator's most popular titles. The vibrant illustrations were created by pouring colored cotton pulp through hand cut stencils. Life abounds in the small pond where tadpoles wriggle, dragonflies hover, herons plunge, and minnows scatter. Lots of action for the youngest reader. A Fine first edition in a Fine dust jacket. Fleming has added an inscription, signature and small illustration on the half title page and dated it in the year of publication.
