PreSchool-A mother mallard leads her ducklings from their nest on a first trip to the lake, where they play on and explore a sandbar, then cuddle safely beneath her wings until morning. Arnosky's talent lies in his ability to reproduce a scene from his naturalist's-eye view, which allows others to see and feel his own sense of wonder and excitement. The composition and coloring of each borderless watercolor painting, his technique of shading and blending color, and his use of light provide further evidence of his fine artistic ability. In fact, the illustrations greatly overshadow the simple text, which lacks the brevity and poetic style evident in Deer at the Brook (Lothrop, 1986), in which Arnosky achieved a perfect meld of text and artwork. Nevertheless, All Night Near the Water provides another lovely introductory glimpse at the natural world for the very young.
