Summary- This is a picture book with a
cartoon-like feel. The
author/illustrator did the lettering by hand.
It follows the water cycle and teaches kids about modern water treatment
processes. This book will easily teach
students that we have the same water, cycling through our planet over and over
since water first appeared on earth.

be read in whole or just parts depending on just what you are introducing.
