Pond Walk
Nancy Elizabeth Wallace
Buddy and his mother are spending a relaxing day at Pete’s Pond. As Mama tells Buddy about the animals, bugs, and plants they see, Buddy sketches them on his drawing pad. Ducks! Whirligig beetles! Lily pads! Buddy is curious about everything, but most of all, he hopes to see a turtle. And he does―but not the kind he expected! This book, illustrated with photographs and cut-paper artwork, is a perfect introduction to environmental science and biology, but will also be useful to all enthusiastic pond goers. A make-a-rock turtle craft activity is included.
Ready, Set, 100th Day!
Nancy Elizabeth Wallace
Soon it will be the one-hundredth day of school. Minna wants to come up with a really, really different idea for her Ready, Set, 100th project. With the help of Mom, Dad, and Pip, Minna searches the house. She finds and makes all sort of things. She arranges them in sets, and she plays with them. But she’s “still thinking!” until, suddenly, she gets a BIG idea! Important math lessons are incorporated into Wallace’s signature artwork using origami, recycled paper, markers, crayons, colored pencils and photographs.

Mrs. Bloom wants them to do and draw and share an act of kindness. Minna and her family do lots of kind things, but Minna can’t decide which one is right for her project. Then she starts writing and drawing and cutting―and an idea for a paper quilt picturing many acts of kindness begins to take shape!
