About This Book

A sequence of short, self-contained lessons for young readers about the plants and animals of ponds and riverbanks, explaining life cycles such as frogs from egg to adult and the development of dragonflies and other aquatic insects. Chapters describe nests and breeding habits, the behaviours of kingfishers, water-dwelling rodents, moorhens and coots, the family life of otters, and the variety of water bugs. Practical guidance on making a pond-net and collecting specimens accompanies advice on gathering and displaying flowers and tending a child's water plants, all intended to encourage direct outdoor observation and simple natural-history understanding.
