About the Book

An elementary English assignment sparked the imagination of a child, of whom, had already tapped into creativity. She carefully arranged a few sheets of construction paper, a brown paper lunch bag and scissors to cut out the characters; Herman the Fish, Otto the Owl, Myron the Frog, Bernie the Duck, and Smetly the Turtle. The text was patiently hand printed from a child's mind with a fine tip marker. A hole puncher and string helped her to bind the story then, "The Pond Players" was born.
