ngaging, playful text and bold illustrations, this book celebrates the magic of water in everyday life while gently teaching its scientific properties.

delightful picture book that introduces young readers to the wonder and versatility of water in its many forms. With simple yet lyrical text, Portis invites readers to join a curious young girl as she explores water in everyday life, from streams and waves to fog and ice.

“Hey, water, thank you!“

I would use this book in my classroom as a fun way to introduce the water cycle, weather, or different water forms. It is a great way to talk about all the things that are made up of water! It is informative, playful, and important

Hey, Water! is a great book, that discusses the different ways water can be found or presents itself in our world. It was published in 2019. It provides many different ways one may find water. It may not always look the same, but it shows up in many different ways.

“Sometimes you slide down my cheek without a sound.“

I would read this book with my first graders and then follow up with an extension activity that shows different ways to use water and where it comes from!

IN this book, it goes over the different forms that water can be in and how it can benefit us. it also shows the water cycle and how to conserve water within the book. This book is a great display of information about how something so simple can be so beneficial to us as humans.

“Water, you're a part of every living thing.“

This can be used to introduce a lesson about water or the states of matter. The book does explain in simple terms what the different states of matter are and examples of them. The book seems to be meant for 5- 8 year olds.

This is a simple, easy-to-follow nonfiction book. Each page has only five or so words on it. It is nonfiction because the book provides examples of the different forms that water could be in. And, it talks about how to conserve water.

“Water, even when you try to fool me, I know you.
You blast and huff.
Whistle and puff.
Steam.“

This is a simple read that provides illustrations while discussing the different ways water exists in our world. I think this would fit very well in a Kindergarten to 4th grade classroom. This could be included in a curriculum to introduce water to students and how it is not as simple as it seems, even transitioning into the water cycle.

This is a quick and simple book about water and how it exists all around us. The author provides fun illustrations that demonstrate how water can be a large mass, like the ocean, or exist as a tear. It explores the different states of matter, with water being a gas (steam and clouds) and water being a solid (ice cube/ iceberg).

So I happened to grab a Popsicle out of my freezer between books. This fits perfectly for this prompt.
I loved this book. It is super simple for those early readers, and had more content for those more advanced readers.
