Synopsis

Old MacDonald had a . . . pond? Yes! Just as the classic children's song 'Old MacDonald Had a Farm' helped generations of children to learn about animals on a farm, now with the children's picture book JO MACDONALD SAW A POND they will sing along with Jo, his granddaughter and discover all the interesting animals in and around the farm's pond. Children are very curious about the natural world and JO MACDONALD SAW A POND is such a fun way to learn! As children sing the Jo MacDonald song they will enjoy rhythm, repetition, wordplay and onomatopoeia all of which research has shown to be important in creating a rich pre-literacy environment. The ducks quack and frogs croak but do you know what sounds the dragonfly, raccoon, fish, bird, reeds and deer make? Quite a symphony, actually! Plus there's a surprise that sends the whole pond's inhabitants scurrying. Laura Bryant's watercolor illustrations charmingly depict Jo and each of the animals. A resource section in the back features both outdoor and indoor activities and games sure to encourage young naturalists at home and school. There are tips on how to be a good nature observer, and resources for how to learn more. Ages 3 to 8
