Water, Water Everywhere

Celebrating Earth's most precious resource, this handsome volume introduces not only the many forms and almost-magical properties of water, but also the vital role that water plays in the life of our planet. In vivid words and stunning color photographs, the book explores how water moves from the earth's surface to the air and back again; how pounding waves, rushing rivers, and slow-moving glaciers change the face of the earth; and why people of all nations must strive to conserve our planet's water supply and keep it free of pollution.

With prompting and support, ask and answer questions about unknown words in a text.

Because the books takes the reader to many different settings some students may not know the words within the book. The teacher can stop and pause to reflect on some of these words, to discuss them with the students.

Good book to appreciate the beauty of the water cycle without coming across as a "school book." The pictures are nice. This one is a distant second to Water is Water by Miranda Paul.

Very good - and we've read A LOT of water cycle type books.

This book is okay but there are much better books about the water cycle and the functions and sources of water.
