Water Wonders Every Child Should Know
'Water Wonders Every Child Should Know' Summary
Water is the most essential substance on Earth. It is necessary for life, and it is also a source of beauty and wonder. In her book Water Wonders Every Child Should Know, Jean M. Thompson takes readers on a journey through the magical world of water. She reveals the hidden wonders of dewdrops, snowflakes, ice, and rain, and teaches children about the science behind these natural phenomena.
Thompson's book is divided into five sections, each of which focuses on a different type of water wonder: dew, frost, snow, ice, and rain. In each section, Thompson provides a clear and engaging explanation of how these natural phenomena form and how they are related to each other. She also shares fascinating facts and anecdotes about water, such as the fact that it is the only substance on Earth that exists in all three states of matter: solid, liquid, and gas.
One of the things that makes Thompson's book so special is her ability to capture the beauty of water in her writing. She describes dewdrops as "tiny jewels" and snowflakes as "frozen dreams." She also explains how ice crystals can create rainbows in the sunlight and how raindrops can sound like music when they fall on the roof.
Thompson's book is not only informative, but it is also inspiring. She teaches children to appreciate the beauty of the natural world and to be curious about the world around them. She also shows them that even the most ordinary things can be extraordinary when they are looked at through the eyes of a scientist and a poet.
