All Around the Pond

(one book in the Animals in Natural Habitats series) is a perfect non-fiction picture book for young children. The sing song-y rhyme makes it playful, yet educational. Rhyme, context clues and preposition (position word) clues lead children to infer animals they might find around the pond making this a fun and interactive reading. For example: Imagine strolling around the pond and finding frogs, beavers, fish, dragonflies. mosquitoes, ducks and snapping turtles. What else might you find?
