Gifts for the Reader: The Deep Black Pond

After reading The Deep Black Pond by Morgan Kostival, you won’t quite look at pond life the same again. This “fanciful” book features extremely interesting images, but the story line is a bit off.

The children’s adventure The Deep Black Pond takes place on a very special tropical island. The fanciful creatures there inhabit a small pond situated in the middle of the island. Follow the misadventures of one of these tiny creatures named Mimi the peewee. Learn just how Mimi becomes the very first pink pearl in the world! At the same time, Mimi unknowingly brings together all the other creatures living in the pond by inspiring cooperation and friendship. This fable-like bedtime story will enthrall your little ones, as Mimi meets the Queen of the water lilies, Cuddles the fish, and the mysterious Baron. You will also see the mysteries of the deep through the talented eyes of author/photographer Morgan Kostival, who says, “I write to preserve my child-like imagination that, sadly, too many adults forget how to use.” Morgan Kostival plans to continue writing and illustrating children’s books. “I wrote this book while simultaneously creating and photographing the creatures that are featured in it. I was interested in creating a world that was hitherto unknown.”

I personally find the story a bit confusing, but it certainly makes me wonder what is going in the bottom of our pond.

Would I buy this book?  No.  $18 is too much for a paperback book, and the storyline is awkward.
