Review Detail

Water: How We Can Protect Our Freshwater is a highly detailed children's book about the worlds life providing liquid.
The book is broken down into easy to follow sections, with thorough facts. My kindergartener found some of this to be overwhelming, as there is A LOT of information. However, my fourth grader had no issues following along and grasped the information easily. Some of the facts were simply mind blowing, disheartening, and encouraging.
I really enjoyed that each section was related to a different location on the globe, as well as time period. From the dinosaurs to the arctic to the sub-Saharan.

We had a lot of fun making connections with other things, for example the Water Cycle section where it talks about dinosaurs and us more than likely drinking the same water - my youngest made the connection with Disney's Frozen and Olaf tell us that water has memory. I love when my kids can make these connections; learning in fun ways!

The illustrations are highly detailed and vivid. We had fun looking at all the bright colors and finding unique things on each page. The little details count.

The “How Can I Use Water Wisely?” section at the end is displayed in a fun, wraparound style. Suggestions include realizing that most everything we use takes water to make and visiting local lakes or rivers to discover the animals and plants living there—if we care about something, we’re more likely to want to help protect it.

This is a perfect book for World Water Day, as well as Earth Day!
