  Taken from a series which encourages children to discover the world of nature, this book looks at pond life. It covers familiar pond creatures such as frogs and minnows, and also those creatures that live beneath the pond's surface. It begins by describing ponds and the importance of the food web to pond life, and goes on to describe the interdependence of the various plants and animals within that food web. Finally, it tells of the pollution and neglect of ponds, and what can be done to conserve them. The author is an experienced science teacher who has written extensively about wildlife.
