<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><strong>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.</strong></p> <p>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: <em>"</em><em><em>A</em>s 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."</em></p> <p>- Packed with <strong>curriculum science</strong> information<br /> - See how pond animals make their homes and what they eat<br /> - Learn about the <strong>life cycles </strong>of frogs and dragonflies<br /> - Discover how water plants are food and shelter for pond animals<br /> - Controlled vocabulary, grammar, and sentence structure<br /> - Beautiful, labeled photographs throughout<br /> - Close photo/text match<br /> - Includes a pond <strong>food web diagram</strong></p> <p>Filled with facts about the natural world, this title is perfect for students studying habitats, animal and plant life cycles, and ecosystems. </p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>These thoughtful overviews provide selected examples of the roles of plants and animals within an ecosystem. Basic facts about the habitat are followed by simple profiles of the creatures that live there. Each spread ends with a boxed question that is answered with the subsequent page turn, which neatly supports the theme of connections within a habitat. A spread on rock-clinging seaweed, for example, leads into one on animals that also stick to rocks, followed by a transition to barnacle eating processes. Continuity is further reinforced by introducing an animal, then returning to it later. In <em>Pond</em>, for example, dragonfly eggs are laid, nymphs appear seven pages later, and they emerge as dragonflies toward the end. Visual support comes from a mixture of full-page photos and smaller insets, many of which include helpful labels. Each title ends with a useful food web diagram.</p> <p>Excellent introductions to how ecosystems functions.--<em>School Library Journal</em></p>-- "Journal" (7/2/2021 12:00:00 AM)<br>
