Comparable to several books in the "Dear America" series, this offers a gentle introduction to the plight of persons of Japanese descent during World War II.
Covered in Water
Beneath Your Feet's exploration of groundwater and Say Hello's clear explanations of water's properties rank as top choices, but the entire series merits first-purchase consideration.
With some repetition across volumes, the series surveys topics related to water and earth's water resources, including the water cycle, groundwater, river flow, saltwater formation, and brief mentions of chemical make up. Unfocused layouts include early-elementary-accessible text, well-labeled diagrams and charts, illustrative photos, and sidebars that look like water splashes. A "Science Lab" activity concludes each book. Reading list. Glos., ind. Review covers the following Drip, Drip, Drop: Earth's Water titles: Covered in Water, Say Hello to H2O, The Water Beneath Your Feet, What's So Fresh About Fresh Water?, and Why Is Seawater Salty?.
