Review

An informational rhyming book about the many forms that water can take.

Dip, sip. Pour me a cup. Water is water until it heats up. Whirl. Swirl. Watch it curl. Steam is steam unless - and than another example of how water is transformed is touched upon.

The flow of the book is easy and the water theme takes the reader through all four seasons and the importance and prevalence of water in one's daily life is clear but is demonstrated in a playful and fun fashion.

The illustrations are homey yet glorious at the same time.

At the end of the book is an explanatory section about the importance of water, books for further reading and a bibliography.

Overall Book Score: very good
