Book Description

10 and up
Surrounded by salt seas, dimpled by shining lakes, and streaked by crooked rivers, Florida is a land of water. Many of Florida's plants and animals have adapted to living in its wet places. Divided into four sections--Oceans, Coral Reefs, Coastlines, and Wetlands--this books shows you who lives on ponds and wet prairies, in swamps and sinkholes, and in the vast Everglades. Discover who lives around the edges of Florida where the land meets the sea. Find out who lives in the oceans around Florida and on the only coral reef in North America.

This book introduces you to the many species of birds, mammals, fish, flowers, and trees that are dependent upon Florida's watery world.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent resource for Florida teachers or homeschoolers!, October 27, 2010
By 
Waterlily (Sunny Florida) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Florida Water Story: From Raindrops to the Sea (Hardcover)
I am a homeschooling mother. Wanting to learn more about Florida's waterways and wildlife, I checked this book out of the library, read a few pages to my chilldren every day, then checked it out a second time, and then, following my son's recommendation, decided to buy it. It is well-written and very engaging, a "living book" about Florida's natural resources. Very highly recommended. Answers many questions about the aquifer, sinkholes, swamps, and shoreline that are unique to our state.

The only drawback is that the illustrations are not in color. I would recommend using a FL field guide along with it to get a more detailed view of the birds and other animals highlighted.
