Water

by Emily Neye, Cindy Revell (Illustrator)

Overview

Water is all around us. It is rain from the sky. It is a puddle on the ground. It is a place to swim. But that's not all. Water can change. Water can be ice cubes in your drink or steam from your bath.

Editorial Reviews

K-Gr 3-Neye leads beginning readers on an exploration of water in its many forms-rain, ice, snow, and steam-presenting the sources, uses, and properties of this precious resource in very basic terms. The text, one to three sentences per page, uses simple words, large type, word repetition, and picture clues that make this a wonderful introductory science book. Both the writing and the oil-pastel illustrations are well above average, with Revell's large-headed children enjoying water in all its forms. The exuberant pictures and an easy-to-decode text will entice even reluctant readers to give this selection a try.-Jean Lowery, Bishop Woods Elementary School, New Haven, CT Copyright 2003 Reed Business Information.
