Arnosky, Jim. 2008. The Brook Book: exploring the smallest streams. New York: Penguin.
Brooks are the smallest types of tributaries. They begin as mountain springs flowing from hillsides or as water coming from underground streams. Brooks always run down hill. Author Jim Arnosky provides readers with practical tips on exploring, water safety, and facts about brooks and the animal and plant life they support. Arnosky’s lifelike and colorful illustrations bring the world of brooks to life with detailed drawings of birds, fish, and other wildlife sustained by the brooks. Fact-supported, practical advice on spotting animal tracks, fishing, and bird watching is included; as are maps demonstrating how water flows from the smallest brook behind your house all the way to sea. The Brook Book is a great read for future environmentalists or anyone interested in the natural world.
