Valley-of-Waters-Under-the-Earth ch.17 promt #1



I absolutely love how throughout this whole book James Marshall gives you facts about the terrain and the animals that live there. I think it brings the book onto another level. He demonstrates this particularly when Mary and Peter reach the valley of waters under the earth. Here there was an abundance of life and prosperity. For example he discusses the Jesus Bird, " walking the water on their long, disproportionate toes (that use the fragile underwater lily leaves as stepping stones). Tidbits like that just make the reading that much more interesting.
