The Deep Black Pond by Morgan Kostival Review

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 and photographer Morgan Kostival, who says, "I write to preserve my child-like imagination that, sadly, too many adults forget how to use."


Our Thoughts: The Deep Black Pond is different from any other children's book I have ever read. The adventurous story of the creatures in the tropical island pond is unique and original in its own right, but its really the artwork that makes this book stand out.  Morgan Kostival took the creatures from his imagination and made them tangible. Then he took amazing photos that actually look like an underwater world. His creations are endearing even though they are a little strange. This is the type of book that really encourages a child's individuality and imagination.

If  would like to purchase  The Deep Black Pond by Morgan Kostival, it is available online at Amazon for only $18. Encourage you kids to read with this captivating story today.
