Description
Publisher's Description of One Small Square: Pond
Fish and fungi, plants and protists, mammals and monera all seem to get along swimmingly in and around the peaceful-looking pond environment. But a closer look at a small square reveals an ever-changing world. . .home to a larger variety of creatures and goings-on than you'd ever imagine, even in just a drop of its water! This beautifully illustrated "you are there" science book--part of the critically acclaimed One Small Square series--is brimming over with fun-to-do experiments and activities for children ages 7 and up. Includes a pond field guide, a glossary-index, and a resource list.
Category Description for One Small Square Books
At last! In paperback! Explore the different places in our world, with a close-up view, one small square at a time. This series is excellent for many reasons. First, by concentrating on one, small square, it presents each environment in a manageable piece; making it less overwhelming and more personal for children than looking at the whole. Each book has them stake out just one, small square which they will explore, like scientists, discovering all they can about that ecosystem and the wildlife that inhabits it. Secondly, the books are highly interactive - an exquisite blend of textual information and activities, in a very conversational tone. Third, the writing is excellent. Fourth, the full-color illustrations are beautiful and inspiring. At the back of each volume is a short picture field guide to the habitat, followed by an index and resource list. Longtime classics for young naturalists, these books are now more affordable. The books are a 9" x 9" format - one small square.
