This book is part of the Dwellers series collection by Theodor Wood. Dwellers in the meadows introduce children to the animals, plants, insects, and birds found in the meadows. The stories are intended to teach children about nature in our meadow and provide a beautiful narrative about these areas.

Each chapter is a different story full of humor, yet cleverly conveys information about the frogs, minnows, and other residents and often suggests a moral in a delicate manner which no child could resist.
