The Pond Book Author:Karen Dawe Kids love the slimy and slithery stuff in life. And life doesn't get any more slimy and slithery than in the local pond. From the fun and enlightening Hand in Hand with Nature series, here is a full-color guide to the frogs, toads, turtles, water bugs, and other pond residents. The Pond Book is a uniquely self-contained 80-page guide to how ... more »an ecosystem works. Over 40 species are covered in the book, and kids learn how each contributes to the life of a pond. There's a spider that goes fishing, a bug that breathes through a tube, a larva that builds a house out of twigs and pebbles. Sixteen pages are devoted to frogs, toads, and tadpoles: how they live, what they eat, why it's important not to handle them. It comes together with a tadpole tank with a special strainer and magnifying lens lid.
