Ponds

A parent might reach for this book when their child shows a budding curiosity about the natural world, perhaps after spotting a duck in a local park pond and asking endless questions. This nonfiction book clearly explains what a pond is, the types of plants and animals that call it home, how ponds are formed, and most importantly, how to stay safe near water. It nurtures a child's sense of wonder while building their confidence through knowledge. For early elementary schoolers, it's a fantastic resource that turns a simple walk in the park into a rich learning adventure, providing a solid foundation for both scientific understanding and practical outdoor safety.
