Book Reviews of Water Dance
Book Review: Artistic, Poetic and Educational?
Summary: 5 Stars
Wonderful read for the whole family. This is a book we look forward to reading to our little one, over and over. The art work is fantastic, the words are entertaining and has a section at the end of the book to educate about all the cycles of water. Do not hesitate to add this to your library!Book Review: Beautiful Pictures!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
This book has absolutely gorgeous pictures. I bought this book as an aid while teaching the water cycle to my classes. This book is perfect for helping children to understand the water cycle!Book Review: Poetry and science at once
Summary: 4 Stars
It can be hard to write an educational picture book. You don't have any plot (or you DO and it feels tacked on and weird), and it may be a subject - like the water cycle - that seems to go best with dry, flat, boring diagrams with arrows on them.
The author has completely eschewed the normal approach to go with beautiful, evocative paintings and poetry.
It's not as informative, maybe, as an early science reader approach, but for an introduction to the subject or a younger child - or just for having around the house! - I think this is the better option. So get one standard, run of the mill book on the water cycle, but be SURE to get this one as well. You won't regret it.
