Book Reviews of A Drop Of Water
Book Review: This book will open the world of learning to young eyes!
Summary: 5 Stars
"A Drop of Water: A Book of Science and Wonder" is a stunning book that shows water in its many forms. With the aid of stop action photography, Wick reveals water as rainbows, bubbles, drops, steam, ice, and frost. Readers also learn about evaporation and how condensation and clouds are formed.Except for a few color adjustments, the author writes, no photographs were altered. Most impressive is a snowflake magnified 60 times its actual size, nearly 8 inches tall!
Did you know a bubble's skin is 500 times thinner than a human hair?
Did you know a straight pin can float on a glass of water because of water's surface tension?
"A Drop of Water" is written in simple terms and the accompanying photographs will soak up the attention of children of all ages. The book includes a list of experiments children can do to learn more about the three states of water.
