Description
A guide to the flora and fauna commonly found in and around ponds. The book opens at the pond's edge, with examples like the marsh marigold, kingfisher or short-lived dragonfly. It then moves on through the shallows, down through the clear water to the muddy bottom, describing the host of plants and animals that live there together, and explaining how they are dependent on each other. Complemented by dozens of photographs and illustrations, the book will enable children to identify common pond plants and animals, and also to understand how a pond functions as an important part of our wildlife heritage. The other guides in the series are "A First Guide to Trees", "A First Guide to Insects" and "A First Guide to Garden Birds". - from Amzon
