Welcome to the Pond

In this book, readers will explore a pond habitat and discover how pond animals and plants form an ecosystem and rely on each other for survival.

This title cleverly takes young readers on a mini safari through a pond habitat making connections between the living things that call it home. For example: “As a muskrat feeds on cattails, a mother duck uses these plants as a safe place to hide her eggs. As newly-hatched frog tadpoles nibble on algae, dragonfly nymphs go hunting for tadpoles. And discover how microscopic zooplankton are a pond’s clean-up crew.”
