Storytime Theme: Pond

Somewhat specific, I think this storytime lesson plan turned out better than I expected! There are a lot more picture books about ponds than I originally thought and it’s a great look at a small ecosystem of animals that live together in an area. Some of these are older titles and you might find them as easily on Amazon, but you can always check out used bookstores like AbeBooks or ThriftBooks, and don’t forget your local library!
