Great for beginners
Got a kid who’s currently geeking out on pond life? Great starter book with good pictures and useful tips.
Love to read –
Very thorough
This is a very handy reference book for anyone interested in learning about life in and near ponds. I live in New England and participate in an education program for children in our local schools. This little book has helped me be more knowledgeable about pond life. Itâs a very small, easy to carry guide that is loaded with pictures and descriptions.

Nature lover learns things she didn’t know….little book packs BIG punch!
I’m very much a nature lover. When this book arrived, I saw the small size (about 6″ x 4″) I felt a little dissappointed. I thought at least it would be something ‘cute’ for my kids, but would be far too basic for me.NOT AT ALL!I’m learning things I had no idea about. Did you know there are FRESHWATER JELLYFISH! I didn’t!Do you get energized learning about things in the natural environment? If so, you might really want to give this book a try. The book does not go into tremendous detail about each critter or topic covered, but does so enough to grasp the subject matter, and further research if you’re interested. As I did with freshwater jellyfish – for which I now have bookmarked videos of them.Another thing I liked, my attention span is not all that good. In my day, you got a smack on the back of the head, now they call it adhd….I found the book easy to read and follow. It’s not like the longwinded boring educational type of book. You can flip through, find pictures of stuff you want to learn about and read – you don’t have to read in a cover to cover manner.Very cool book, very nice suprises reading it!

Pond Life
Pond Life is like a general biology introduction to life found in ponds. All types of life are covered, albeit in very brief introductions. Plants and animals (microscopic to mammals to birds) each receive tertiary coverage. The book does not get into specifics on how wetlands function relation to other ecosystems, and such coverage would have been useful, but the overall emphasis is still relevant.The book is likely not intended to be read from cover to cover, as it is a field guide. Field guides are really meant to be brought along in a pocket for easy reference when making field identifications. In this respect, I am a big fan of other field guides in the series.This volume and its companions should be readily available at nature centers, but the price is low enough for people to purchase it for their own libraries. What it lacks in detail it makes up for in compactness and readability.

Pond Life: The Rites of Summer
Once Upon a Time when I was young I remember when school ended looking forward to three months of summer vacation.Summer vacation meant sleeping in if I want and still having a full day of fun ahead of me. School’s out for summer. No more pencils no more books no more teachers dirty looks.Part of the fun of course was Pond life: hanging out around a body of water called a pond, collecting tadpoles in a bucket hoping by end of summer they would become frogs. Did you know it takes tadpoles as little as two weeks or as much as two years to become full-grown frogs depending on the species? I found out these little tidbits from a great little book titled Pond Life: this little pocket-sized book was an amazing collection of pictures and facts about all the diversity of pond life: the book became an essential guide I would carry with me in the months ahead to maximize enjoyment of Summer and all that it brings.As the weather got warmer in the Cleveland area this year and as I was driving between my tax appointments I periodically would cross a body of water and think back to Pond Life: oh how wonderful life would be if I didn’t have to do all this work and could be on summer vacation just enjoying Pond life.I don’t know if I really carried that book with me everyday but I have carried it with me over the years: as I moved from home to home that little book always had a spot on the bookshelf. To my astonishment I recently discovered I no longer have the book maybe it was sold in a garage sale on our last move who knows. But the book is a must-have an essential part of Summer I gotta get it back. Fortunately we have a thing called the internet and I was able to purchase a copy for under $5 shipped. I had to have this book before departing for our vacation this year and promised myself I would sit out in the Florida weather browsing Pond Life and contemplating the beginning of Summer. Yes it is the beginning of summer vacation: I am done with the tax service and have free time again and several months of great weather and great times ahead. No more teachers no more books⦠except for pond life of course.And so whatever it is that takes you back to the days of your summer vacation you need to find that item again whether on the internet or on your bookshelf or in the spirit of the season and not waste the days ahead. You need to collect the tadpoles now to have any hope of frogs by the end of summer.Pond Life!

Coolest book ever!
A friend and I have been sampling and observing pond scum under my microscope. I liked this book so much I bought her a copy. It brings to life all the microorganisms we have been watching. Even if you aren’t into microbiology, the unique point of view here is worth the read.

Great Guide for
This book has wonderful illustrations for plants and animals in pond habitats. It also give great comparison of similar looking plants to help you identify what makes them different. My partner was able to use this guide to identify the duck potato, which has arrow shaped leaves similar to the arrow arum and pickerelweed. It’s small size makes it easy to throw a backpack.I can’t wait to use it with my children in identifying things on walks
