Review

Yet another stunning and deeply informative entry in the Sunlight Series, this newest title will mesmerize its readers. Bang has painted beautiful lustrous images of the earth's water supply as it is moved by the sun. Each layer of design is superimposed over another equally spellbinding layer of color and texture. Swirls, dots, stars and lines add depth to the overall illustrations. Readers experience a journey around the world as they follow a small boy in a sail boat as crossing colorful and detailed two page spreads.

Chisholm's science is descriptive and reliable as in previous books within the series. The content is impressive in terms of amount of information and presentation. Together the authors have provided early grade readers an accessible environmentally conscience non-fiction picture book that will appeal to everyone. An essential purchase for primary grade school and public libraries.

Consider for Cream
