Nicole Peterson - Children's Literature

Water covers more than 70% of the earth's surface, but only 1% of the water is drinkable. We need to drink water to be able to live. Water is the only thing in the world that can change naturally into a liquid, a solid, or a gas. Adults will enjoy reading this book in the "Amazing Science" series because the concepts are so clear and simple. Children will need adult help with the more difficult experiments, but many in the series are so simple that young children will be able to do them on their own. Children will love this series because they will be able to learn the concepts by listening to the adult read, looking at the pictures, and trying things out in hands-on experiments. This picture book about water contains simple experiments to test and understand evaporation, dew point, and frost. Also included are a table of contents, an index, a glossary of terms, and a list of references for young readers to learn more about water. 2003, Picture Window Books,
