I applaud this series, clearly designed to educate small children and elementary age children, entertain, and guide in reading comprehension. Using repetition, with each speaker reiterating plus adding to the information given, children learn about animals, and also caring for animals (protectiveness). The included guide helps parents and teachers to promote both comprehension and understanding reading.

This book (and other books in the series) is an excellent resource for parents and caregivers of young children. It provides a lot of introductory facts about pond animals within a visually pleasing backdrop that will appeal to pre-k and young primary age children. The vocabulary is simple enough for them to grasp but also introduces new concepts they probably aren't aware of yet. I'd recommend this to anyone who is involved in the life of a young child.

I am always looking for books to purchase for my future children, and being an evironmental science major, this book caught my attention immediately. I think this book is great for kids to learn some basic facts about different animals that live by ponds. I enjoyed the fact that it went over the difference between roads and frogs because that is a question I get asked every day at my nature job. The illustrations/style was not my favorite but it was cute enough to have a kid stay entertained!

This is a great Astro the Alien title. The illustrations are fun and both our 2 year old and 4.5 year old enjoyed reading about the pond animals and seeing the supporting images. They were partial to the duck, frog, and toad. This is a great series for early readers and helps to build vocabulary and confidence.

Well done. There was a lot of question and answer play between Astro, Ben, and Eva. Much like you would see in a child or in a new being come to our planet.
