[Brenda · Rating 4 out of 5]

With this children graphic novel, teachers can clearly explain the water cycle. This book is also great for independent readers. The text and illustrations describe the key stages of the water cycle in an organized way that students are comfortable with. With the characters leading us through their daily routines they incorporate the activities they do when it rains and snows. They show what to do when a storm is coming and teaches the students what clothes are appropriate for rain and snow. Through the different activities that the characters do, students can learn how to cope with rain and enjoy it while it lasts.
