The Waterfall

We inched our way up and up— The waterfall roared by our ears
into a great rumbling boiling witch's cauldron
far below. "I'm scared," said my brother.
I said, "Just don't look down." Their father says it can't be done, but when two brothers on a camping trip come upon a magnificent waterfall, they resolve to scale the steep rocky slope to its top. In this evocative narrative, inspired by actual experience, renowned writer and poet Jonathan London invites young readers to share in his deep love of the outdoors: from skinny-dipping in a perfect swimming hole, to basking in the warmth of a campfire, to falling asleep to the mysterious rustling of night animals just outside the tent. Perfectly complemented by Jill Kastner's lush nature scenes, readers will be lured into the heart of a summer forest.
