A Drop of Water: A Book of Science and Wonder Hardcover – April 1, 1997

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.

My kid loved it!

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

Clearing and cleverly described its subject while making it fascinating

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.

We loved reading this book. The photography of water is so beautiful in this book, coupled with the simple to understand scientific teaching about water. I recommend it to all my friends who like to learn or teach.
