A Freshwater Pond

by Adam Hibbert

A Freshwater Pond describes the plants, animals, and insects that live in a pond and how they adapt to the water's changing condition in dry summers and icy winters. Insects, amphibians, reptiles, and animals that make the pond their home are featured along with plants ranging from simple, single-celled algae to complex, bug-eating plants. A special section gives safety tips for visiting a pond and shows young readers how to create their own mini-pond in a bucket. Fantastic fact boxes highlight: - the process from egg to frog - hunting habits - why some insects can walk on water

We have created our own pond in the backyard, so we're learning as much as we can about this biome. This book has particularly interesting and simplistic explanations, photographs, and drawings to explain the interdependency of all of the organisms that make up pond life.
