Feeling adventurous one day, a frog leaves her pond and sets out to visit the great sea she has heard so much about.

A special cat, a happy frog, a smart fish, and a pack of cavorting canines add up to oodles of fun in this irresistible anthology for young pet lovers.

In the course of a full day at Butternut Hollow Pond, readers will meet water striders, snapping turtles, herons, woodchucks, and other animals that live in the pond. Readers will learn how each creature fits into the habitat's food chain.

Follow the adventures of a wriggly tadpole as it grows up and encounters enormous fish, fluffy ducklings and shimmering dragonflies before turning into a fully grown frog.

A rebus book about a frog and his home in the pond.

Explores how plants, insects, fish, birds, and other animals come together in ponds and make them their homes.

In this eloquent plea for compassion and respect for all species, journalist and gardener Nancy Lawson describes why and how to welcome wildlife to our backyards. Through engaging anecdotes and inspired advice, profiles of home gardeners throughout the country, and interviews with scientists and horticulturalists, Lawson applies the broader lessons of ecology to our own outdoor spaces. Detailed chapters address planting for wildlife by choosing native species; providing habitats that shelter baby animals, as well as birds, bees, and butterflies; creating safe zones in the garden; cohabiting with creatures often regarded as pests; letting nature be your garden designer; and encouraging natural processes and evolution in the garden. The Humane Gardener fills a unique niche in describing simple principles for both attracting wildlife and peacefully resolving conflicts with all the creatures that share our world.
