The Beaver Pond is the life story of a pond — its birth, maturity, and transformation — one of the final collaborations between Tresselt and the great Swiss-American illustrator Roger Duvoisin (1904-1980). Literally and figuratively the rise and fall of a beaver pond — but fundamentally the fabric of life as it endures through the seasons and the generations. The words are precise, quiet, rhythmic; the full pages in colour tell of fertility, abundance, and industry, or in glazed winter scenes, of solitary foraging and silence. Gradually the pond grows smaller and shallower, and eventually the beavers abandon it for another, where the cycle will begin again — natural history, ecology, empathy. A gentle and beautifully rendered picture book from two of mid-century American children's literature's most beloved collaborators — Alvin Tresselt, winner of the Caldecott Medal for White Snow, Bright Snow, and Roger Duvoisin, winner of the Caldecott Medal for A Little Island.
