Pond Walk Story Time in the Richard Lavallee Storyteller Garden

 Pond Walk by Nancy Elizabeth Wallace

Gr. PreK-3 Buddy and Mama Bear head for Pete s Pond, where they enjoy observing the animals and plants. Like any good naturalist, Buddy makes drawings in his notebook and labels them. Armed with a handy field guide, Mama answers Buddy s questions, offers facts about pond life, and exchanges riddles with her son. The colorful collage illustrations combine elements of cut paper, photos, and colored pencils. A simple craft project is appended. Written with an understanding of what will interest children this picture book from Buddy Bear series provides an accessible introduction to ponds and their inhabitants.
