Four stars because it models so well so many of the tips we give parents and caregivers about early literacy. Buddy and Mama go on a walk to a pond (exploring something new = new vocabulary, new background knowledge); Mama takes a field guide (let children see you read & they will become readers); Mama answers all of Buddy's questions by reading the book and telling him more that she knows (talking and listening to children help them hear more sounds of their language, learn vocabulary, and...more

Nancy Wallace's Buddy Bear are a terrific little series on science related topics for preschoolers. However, the texts are getting longer and longer and more complicated. At least one of this series has ended up in the non-fiction section, because the informational aspect is taking over from the story. Nice for reading with an attentive preschooler or early elementary student, but not something for group reads or for toddlers.
Pond Walk, Nancy Elizabeth Wallace

Good choice for early elementary students or teachers who are doing a study on ponds. Buddy visits a pond and comments on all the life he sees but is always in search of the elusive turtle. Children will love the sneaky entry on the scene of the creature and Buddy's drawings. Rock turtle craft is included at the end of the book.
This book would be great to read to a group of second graders that are learning about the ecology of ponds. In the story the bear examines many different parts of the pond and then comes to important conclusions that are relative for students to learn.
The mixed media art was very fun with this book. It is a story of a momma bear and her little one as they spend the day out on a walk and around a pond. I enjoyed how the text and the illustrations supported each other.
I love this book. It would be a great story to share with students when introducing Limnology and observation recording. I really love that the main character is on a scientific journey with his mother. Cute!
Another one to remember for when my kids get older. Some fun facts about ponds, oh yeah, and Buddy the bear tells laaame jokes, really lame, annoying actually, but it would definitely entertain an older kid.
Great teaching book on ponds and pond animals. Loved the illustrations and the text. The mother bear was teaching her cub like I would be teaching my child. Nice turtle craft at the end of the book.
This picture book shares the day adventure with a bear named Buddy and his mom. Share some jokes and drawings while Mama explains to Buddy things about Pete's Pond.
Cute science book about a nature pond walk. Talks about plants and animals found around the pond. I would use for observation of nature lesson.Could use it a science station with a re-created pond and have students make their own observation picture book.
Loved the art work in this book--the contrast of realistic pictures with construction paper cutouts was engaging and fun for my kids.
We are a library by two big ponds. The Nature Teacher who runs preschool classes here is really going to like this one :)
