Zusatztext "This book totally immerses the reader in the water cycle. From blue end papers and thrashing water on the title page! we’re taken to a view of the tiny blue planet Earth from space. From space! the author moves to the familiar: water coming from a hose! puddles! and a cup of water. The author explains the water cycle using a wealth of vocabulary quite artfully and effectively. You feel the words. Evaporation is shown by having the words “swirl up” and rise up the page from the sea. The use of blues! purples! and greens to convey wetness is quite effective! as is the use of browns and beige depicting a place where very little water is available. There is total integration of illustration and text. A child reading this book will understand the water cycle! and that they need to be good water stewards. This is a good science read-aloud for the primary grades." Highly Recommended - Library Media Connection !
