A Drop of Water: A Book of Science and Wonder

Great photos and short scientific descriptions that make it easy to understand the properties of water. The experiments are easy but help with understanding. All my children (from 3 to 10) love it and look forward to it each week, and they can perform most of the experiments on their own with little to no help from an adult.

This book has so much great information. The pictures are stunning! Each Science concept is clear and concise with follow up Science lessons that can bring a unit study on water altogether.

We read about 1 page a day to savor the beautiful photographs and to soak in the information.

Clearing and cleverly described its subject while making it fascinating

This is a WONDERFUL book!! My kids are using this for their school science program. They are having so much fun with the experiments that are included in the back of the book. The detail in the pictures and the simplicity of this whole layout is just wonderful!

I bought this book for my children but have learned a thing or two myself like why condensation appears on a glass of cold water, why the colours are in a particular order in a rainbow. I have a new found appreciation for water in all of its states (liquid, solid, gas) and hope that my children are as enthusiastic as I am about it. It would be great to see this in science class rooms and school libraries. I hope that in our family it starts a lot of ' did you know....' type conversations.The photography is amazing too

Beautiful book, but I cringe to read it because of the high gloss paper. It catches a glare from everything and it feels rubbery in your hands.

Very simple science lessons. I really liked that in the back it gives you instructions on how to perform each experiment. My boys, 6&8, both enjoy and get excited when I pull this book out

I'm just not enjoying this book. Not one bit. The pictures are beautiful, but the text is dry and boring.

Very satisfied with my purchase!They are very pleasant to look as much for the younger and olders.My 4-year-old boy likes very much these books! I am making him a small collection.

Not quite as impressive as expected. My kids love most books especially science. but found this dull.
