Look and Wonder: The Great Big Water Cycle Adventure

Description

Dive into the great big water cycle story! The same water has been falling as raindrops for billions of years. It travels around our planet again and again, from raindrops into rivers, and from seas to water vapour in mist and clouds. The water on Earth is in glaciers, rivers, streams, lakes and reservoirs. It is used by plants, humans and animals. Follow the journey of a young boy and girl as they float, splash and slide through the incredible water cycle story. This beautifully illustrated picture book shows the incredible story of the water in all its forms, from grey storm clouds to rushing waterfalls, calm lakes and shining icy glaciers. 'Look and Wonder' is a fresh, bold and bright, narrative non-fiction picture book series, for children aged 4 and up, introducing children to life cycles and the natural world. The eye-poppingly colourful digital illustration style will explain the scientific concepts while the light and fun text-style will make these books real home and classroom favourites.

Kay Barnham (Author) Kay Barnham was born in Barrow-in-Furness, grew up in Carlisle, went to college in Brighton, and lived in Hove for a while, before sailing for Kinsale, Co Cork, popping back to Hove and then moving to the New Forest with her husband and daughter. And never at any point has she lived more than ten miles from the sea. She began working in children's publishing in 1992. She was an editor first of all, working on illustrated non-fiction and learning fun facts like how long it would take to walk to the moon - nine years - and how to spell palaeontology. Next, she commissioned fiction titles, editing picture books, storybooks and novels. And then she got the chance to write her own books, which she thinks is quite the best job ever. Except possibly being a chocolatier. She writes non-fiction as Kay Barnham. Her specialist subjects include ice-skating, Isambard Kingdom Brunel, lightning, fairies, Roald Dahl, Sir Isaac Newton, Christmas, dolphins, Florence Nightingale and very bad cracker jokes. And chocolate. She also writes fiction as Kay Woodward, including the Skate School series for Usborne and the novels Jane Airhead and Wuthering Hearts for Andersen Press. Altogether, she's written about a hundred books. Her favourite colour is navy blue. Her favourite chocolate is 85% cocoa solids. Maddie Frost (Illustrator) Maddie Frost is the author and illustrator of Once Upon a Zzzz, Animobiles and Wakey Birds. She is also the illustrator of The Littlest Things Give The Loveliest Hugs, A is for Artichoke and more. She lives with her husband and dog in Boston, USA.

Excellent little book which lends itself equally to classroom use and independent research by Ks2 pupils. * The School Librarian * This is a good way to introduce KS1 children to the concept of the water cycle, as they follow raindrops falling to the ground, into rivers, down to the sea and back into the air to form clouds... An engaging presentation which makes science interesting and easy to understand. * Parents in Touch *
