This books does a great job of artistically placing the words. They always go with the theme and truly bring the poem to life!

In my opinion the purpose of this story is to connect with young readers and help them to connect different ways water is used. The book does a great job of keeping the information straight forward while also adding an artistic effect.

This book is very unique. Kind of hard to follow along because you read downwards.

I loved this book! I feel it can be overwhelming if you are to have the students read it but if a teacher were to read it to them and have the students looks at the illustrations.

Poetry Published in 1994
I automatically reached for this book because of the cover. Theres a new poem on each page and the illustration is very unique. It‘s very bright and inviting. I also find it interesting that all the poems are on different aspects of water.
