"An engaging trip through the water cycle will have youngsters
asking themselves if a dinosaur really did drink their water first.
Wells expertly addresses his young audience, using simple language
and defining key terms...An excellent resource for elementary
students."--Kirkus Reviews
"Considering the potentially difficult nature of this topic, the
author uses easy vocabulary to make the concept understandable to
young readers. The colorful, full-page cartoon illustrations
enhance the text and provide a visual for the scientific
theories."--Library Media Connection
"Rather than being accessories to the text, all of the images
facilitate the reader's understanding...This is a great way to get
children interested in earth science, and it will help them begin
to draw links between themselves and their environment. Adults may
learn something along with their kids."--Children's Literature
"The simple text asks good questions and offers clearly worded
answers, enhanced by lively, colorful ink-and-watercolor
illustrations...A playful yet sound introduction to the water
cycle."--Booklist
