This fun picture book takes kids on an exhilarating ride through
the eyes of a drop of rain. Tumbling from a cloud, the raindrop is
part of a rainbow before it falls into a stream and later splashes
into a lake, where it gets sucked up into a water treatment plant.
From there it goes into a faucet, is drunk by a child, and sweated
out. The sweat falls to the sidewalk and turns to water vapor,
where it gathers with other droplets to finally create a cloud,
freezes and becomes a snowflake. The cartoon-like illustrations and
pithy comments from the drops enliven the water cycle story and the
book includes in depth parts of the cycle to explain how we get
clean drinking water—but keeps it simple to understand. A
straightforward narrative details specifics about each spread the
kids should have a good time reading about the water cycle. The
idea of all our water moving constantly and being recycled is a
fascinating one to young learners and this book is a great way to
introduce the water cycle.
