These books are exactly what would have inspired me as a kid. They will certainly inspire today’s kids and their parents, guardians and teachers.
— David Lindo, The Urban Birder. Vice-President of the Wildfowl & Wetlands Trust, Voted 7th most influential person in Wildlife by BBC Wildlife Magazine
A fantastic encouragement for kids to discover the wonders of nature through the prism of a small garden pond. Having spent endless hours looking into ponds and raising tadpoles as a boy, I totally got Daisy and Jack’s excitement at all the visitors theirs attracted. And charming to see that families come in all shapes and sizes too. This book is a must, as is a pond.
— Sean McCormack, Vet, wildlife presenter, conservationist, and naturalist
Daisy and Jack’s Perfect Pond will encourage children to look more closely at their local environment and enjoy what they see. They will be delighted by what can be found in towns, cities and small spaces. This book, and others in its series, would be a welcome addition to any early years, KS1 and lower KS2 classroom.

Daisy and Jack’s Perfect Pond

When Daisy and Jack spot a little frog in their small garden, they must come up with a plan to make their new visitor feel at home! 

With the help of Papa and Daddy, and some new tools from the garden centre, the two siblings create their very own plant pot pond, and soon discover that a small change can make a big difference to their local wildlife!

With pond creatures, bugs, plants, wildflowers, and plenty of animals throughout, children will have endless fun spotting and learning. Included are a frogspawn life-cycle guide, frog and toad facts, and a beautiful species identification page. Lawston’s third book in this urban nature series is bound to captivate budding nature lovers, and appeal to nature connection advocates.  Beatriz Castro’s gorgeous illustrations will enchant both reader and read-to.
