K-Gr 3—As Lawrence explores various aspects of water, she engages readers in the process. Although the illustrations are merely adequate, relevant questions interspersed throughout the volumes encourage readers to think before they turn the page for the answer. The "Science Lab" activity at the end of each book goes beyond listing instructions by including questions to foster prediction and observation.
VERDICT Beneath Your Feet's exploration of groundwater and Say Hello's clear explanations of water's properties rank as top choices, but the entire series merits first-purchase consideration.
With some repetition across volumes, the series surveys topics related to water and earth's water resources, including the water cycle, groundwater, river flow, saltwater formation, and brief mentions of chemical make up. Unfocused layouts include early-elementary-accessible text, well-labeled diagrams and charts, illustrative photos, and sidebars that look like water splashes. A "Science Lab" activity concludes each book. Reading list. Glos., ind. Review covers the following Drip, Drip, Drop: Earth's Water titles: Covered in Water, Say Hello to H2O, The Water Beneath Your Feet, What's So Fresh About Fresh Water?, and Why Is Seawater Salty?.
