Water -- Juvenile literature.

1 v. (unpaged) : col. ill. ; 28 cm.

"A Richard Jackson book."

"Atheneum Books for Young Readers."

Introduces young children to the water cycle with simple text and illustrations. Lots of picture books introduce young children to the water cycle, but few have such an infectious beat and eye-catching illustrations as this title, which begs to be read aloud. With occasional rhymes, the short, poetic lines are conversational and instructive and evoke a sense of mystery..What kids will respond to immediately, though, are the noisy, delicious sounds and rhythms in the words as well as the kinetic energy in the beautifully composed, atmospheric digital illustrations, which have the richly patterned and textured look of paint-and-paper collage. Playfully arranged type in changing fonts adds to the visual fun while giving cues for energizing read-alouds. On the final, stunning spreads, a mother's hair swirls into a wave of water that becomes a joyful spiral of living creatures, all reinforcing the simple, profound message: our lives depend on precious water.

Suggested for K to grade 2.

Preschool picture book.

Tillotson, Katherine.
