Introduction to life in a lake
- Picture Book - Pond by Gordon Morrison, ISBN 0-618-10271-X “As winter melts into spring, birds return to the pond, turtles and frogs crawl out of the holes in which they buried themselves during the cold months, and the trees at the water’s edge begin to bud. Witness the array of life in and around a pond throughout the course of a year.”
- Reference Book - Pond and River by Steve Parker, an Dorling Kindersley Eyewitness Book, 2000, ISBN 0-7894-5839-1 Ages 9-12. "A very attractive pictorial introduction to plants and animals found in aquatic habitats at various seasons of the year. Chapters focus on fish, birds, mammals, amphibians, plants, insects, mollusks, estuaries and the salt marsh. The photographs are excellent. A first rate way for youngsters to identify the more common organisms." Science Books & Films
