A nice addition to library water cycle books. The photos are excellent and text very informative. The only negative would be that recycling your own urine comes up several times. Boys would love that, but as a teacher, do you want it brought up? Water as a solid, liquid and gas are all explained in detail. Probably best for grades 4-6.

Great photography, graphics and text in bite sizes that are easy to digest and appealing for young readers. Nicely arranged doable activity, glossary and references at the back.
