Read this book after reading the DK Life Cycle with my son last year. This was a very interesting volume covering various water cycles in nature and day to day life. We particularly enjoyed reading about the life cycles of various animals. The pages about the Burj Khalifa skyscraper and the International Space Station were very interesting too. I recommend this book for children aged 8+.

I really enjoyed Life Cycles: Everything from Start to Finish and it's no surprise that Water Cycles is another excellent nonfiction book for children. This book contains a wealth of information spanning a wide range of topics related to water. It actually took me by surprise we could spend 144 pages on one topic, but it's brilliantly done!
The pages contain a combination of realistic illustrations and real photos, infographics, maps, and so much more! It's an engaging read and lots to discover on each page. Obviously you would dive in and out of this book depending on interest -- so it's nice how well organized this is and it also contains a glossary and index.
The book is divided into four major sections:
1) Water on Earth
2) Using water
3) Life in water
4) Water and humans
The first section covers clouds, hurricanes, hot springs, glaciers, ocean currents, tides, and more!
The second section discusses water in cells, plants, and humans.
The third section covers a range of living things and their life cycles -- jellyfish, crab, starfish, orca, eel, clown fish, sea snake, and more.
The fourth section discusses hydropower, irrigation, wastewater, and similar issues.
It all is really brilliantly done. It's a beautiful and engaging book. Great for science education either in the classroom or at home!

This was a lovely book all aspects of water in the world, not just the traditional water cycle that we know about. As usual, because it is a DK published book, it is high quality and packed full of information. I highly recommend this book. My youngest enjoyed it as part of his two-year long unit study on water in the world.
