PondPond LifeLifePonds are places to row a boat or to swim.

We can hike near them. We can fish in

them. Ponds are also homes for many

animals. They live in and out of the water.

In the morning, a dragonfly

flies in the air. It flies over

the pond and looks for

bugs to eat.

In the afternoon,

a swan swims.

Its long neck ducksunder the water.

This mom finds

plants for its babies

to eat.

In the evening,

a raccoon races.

It stays up at night.

It finds plants and

animals to eat.

Animals and plants live in, on, and by

the pond. This heron eats bugs and frogs.

It can trap a bug as the bug creeps on a

big lily pad. The pond is a good place to

find food.

Garissa is a remote, or faraway, village in the

desert in Kenya. Kenya is a country in Africa.

The Desert ExpressCamels live in this sandy

part of Kenya. They can

of books on their backs.

People, on the other hand,

can’t carry that many!

Children in Garissa nowhave books to read. They

love it when the camel

The life of a ladybug begins in the spring.

A ladybug grows in three stages. Then it

becomes an adult.

The Egg Stage

A female ladybug finds

a leaf. Then she lays

many eggs.

J er om e W exl er / Vi s u al s Unl i mi t e d

The Larva Stage

An egg hatches. Out

comes a little bug, or

larva. It is much smaller

than a grown ladybug.

The Pupa Stage

The larva grows a new hard

skin. It covers the ladybug

like a shell.

Pat grows food for

hungry families.

She collects food at

the community garden.

The food goes to people

in need.

Anna and Bob give

their time. They read

to a younger child who

cannot read.

Sharing is more than taking turns with

a toy. Sharing is giving and caring.

Good citizens help make things better

for everyone. They help people in the

community or around the world.

Sharing with Others

The rain forest is very green, wet,

and hot. It is packed with trees

and is full of life.

Some animals send a

warning. It says, “Watch out

for us!” These frogs have lots

of poison on their skin.

Some animals just hang

around. Sloths spend time

hanging from trees. Look at

how the baby holds its mother.

Some animals come out

just at night. This bug is

scary to look at. Its spikes

scare off enemies.

People can spend time exploring the

rain forest. They can walk on bridges

high over the ground. They can see so

much green! Scientists explore the rain

forest, too. They study the plants that

help sick people. The rain forest is the only

place in the world where these plants live.

Big tools came first.

The scientists used a saw,

pulled out a block of rock.

Little tools came next.

The scientists used brushes

to clean the big block.

They found shoulder and

leg bones.

The skeleton helps scientists learn

about dinosaurs. The scientists put the

bones together. They try to see what the

dinosaur once looked like. Its arms were

like wings. Its nose was long like a beak.

That is why it is called a birdlike dinosaur.

It is warm in the summer. People go

to the ocean to get cool. They share

the water with many living things!

The sun shines on the ocean top. Tiny

plants need the sun to survive. Other

ocean life then eat these plants.

Some animals drift. Jellyfish glide in the water.

Watch out! These soft

animals can sting.

Some animals hide.

This little crab crawls

under rocks. It creeps

behind other animals

to hide. Its hard shell

keeps it safe.

Some animals swim

to the top to breathe.A whale mom shows its baby

calf how to swim. Many fish

swim down when it is light

out so they cannot be seen.

This helps to protect them.

At night, they then swim to

the top to eat.Amos Nachoum

W hoo’

s

Owls are such fascinating birds. Their

bodies are made to survive in the night.

Owls stay awake at

night. The moon is up,

too. Most owls sleep

when the sun comes up.

Could you do that?

Owls hear very well.

They hear better than

any other bird. When an

owl hears a sound, it can

turn its head far around.

Owls have big eyes.

They see quite well at night.

In the day, they do not

move. This makes it hard

for enemies to spot them.

help owls hunt. They eat

lots of mice and other

little animals.

Bird SignThis sign can be seen on the

trails in some Texas state parks.

These parks are near the Gulf

of Mexico. Many birds live here.

The sign tells people that they

can see different birds.

Owls fly quietly. Their wings are very

long. There is lots of space between their

soft and fluffy feathers. These things help

owls stay quiet. They can hunt much

better this way.

Many people own dogs. Purebred dogs

can compete in dog shows.

Dogs get a prize like

the Olympic medal.

In the United States, the

Westminster Kennel Club

runs a famous dog show.

Only the best purebreds

are allowed to compete.

Judges are experts on the breed

they judge. At this show, theyexamine, or look over, the dog.

They look at how the dog

moves. Judges see if the

teeth, bones, and coat

are perfect.

People discover things. They invent

new machines. We learn new ways

to do things. Over time, our lives

change in many ways.

Making ClothesLong ago, families made their

own clothes. They sewed their

clothes by hand. The sewing

machine was invented about 150

years ago. It helped people sew

their clothes faster.

Now, most clothes are madein big factories. The factories

have many machines and many

workers. The factories send the

clothes to stores. Families go to

stores to buy their clothes.

museum? You can learn about stars and

planets. You can learn about rocks and

dinosaurs. You can learn about living

things, too. Learn about these and more at

the Houston Museum of Natural Science.

This museum has a specialplace for butterflies. They live inside the museum.

Ready, Set, RunPadre Island National Seashore is a

different kind of museum. It is an outdoor

museum and a park. You can see birds that

live at the seashore. You can see the sea

and many sand dunes.

You might also see baby sea turtles! Each

year, sea turtles are hatched at the park.

The tiny turtles are put on the beach.

They run quickly to the sea. One day,

some turtles may return to the beachto lay eggs.

This is a babysea turtle.
