Discover the hidden magic of the Everglades in this fascinating and beautiful exploration of the wetland habitat
from the New York Times bestselling author and award-winning illustrator of the beloved Over and Under series!
Part of the acclaimed nature book series that includes Over and Under the Pond, Over and Under the
Rainforest, and Over and Under the Snow, this volume takes readers on a journey into the magical and
mysterious reaches of 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
beautifully illustrated nonfiction picture book reveals all the fascinating creatures living just out of sight in the
branches and depths over and under the wetland.
ENCHANTING AND EDUCATIONAL: A charming story and dazzling illustrations invite readers of all ages to
explore and learn about the Everglades, with swamps full of plants and animals that are as intriguing as they
are lovely to see—and full of secrets to fire up young readers' curiosity!
NATIONAL LANDMARK AND WORLD HERITAGE SITE: Wetlands are precious landscapes all over the world,
but the Everglades are special. They combine several distinct habitats, house an extraordinary variety of
animals, and comprise the largest subtropical wilderness in North America. They are home to rare and
endangered creatures, including some animals (like the Florida panther, West Indian manatee, and wood stork)
that live ONLY in the Everglades.

Neal have made dozens of beloved and critically acclaimed books. The entire Over and Under series—including
