Water
About This Book
Water is everywhere, and people depend on it every day. This nonfiction book for children encourages young readers to wonder about it. It looks at water in rainstorms, in the Great Lakes, in the drip from a kitchen tap and in many other places around the world. The book poses a series of questions. How much water is there on our planet? What happens when there is too much or too little? Why does it rain? What are lakes, rivers, seas and oceans, and why are the seas and oceans blue and salty? What lives underwater? It also turns to history, asking how people found water in ancient times, how we get it today, what humans have built to travel on water, and how waterpower has been put to use. The final question is how to protect this resource for the future. Readers tour through science and history alongside two characters they may know from Discovering Air in Motion. The illustrations are done in colorful acrylic, and the text is lively and informative, helping children understand the natural resource that life has relied on from the very beginning.
