Concrete poetry all about water. I like some of these better than others. I really liked the repetition and the shape of "waterfall". I also really enjoyed "sprinkler," "Popsicle," "Steam," "Wave,"and "Icicle". Some of these are really simple, but some use some very descriptive vocabulary that would be difficult for language learners.

This a cute picture book filled with poems the different phases of water. This book can be used in the classroom when teaching about water.

I bought this book for my 3-year-old daughter at a yard sale but knew nothing about it. It has since become one of our favorites, and my daughter requests it all the time! It is actually a book of poems, all about the different forms that water takes. The poems are short and most have some form of rhyme. They are all picture poems, in that the words take the shape of the "water" they are describing. It's charming and clever and a great way to introduce little ones to poetry!

I love the way that the text is formated differently, from page to page to help illustrate! Creative and colorful!
