Water Can Be…

The pair that created the fabulous A Leaf Can Be… have teamed up and done it again.  This simple, poetical book helps readers consider water in all its many forms and capacities.  Most pages contain only a couple words, with opposite pages sharing rhyming pairs describing water in different forms: “garden soaker” (rain) opposite “valley cloaker” (fog).  The illustrations are beautiful and whimsical and support the text, so that readers must often consult the illustration to make meaning from the text. In the back of the book more detailed text offers explanations for each of the names given to water throughout the book, and a glossary and suggestions for further reading are also included.  It really is a delightful book!
