This is a great read for early learners who are just being introduced to the concepts of the flow of water. Two young children, one boy and one girl, follow rain water from brook to ocean. The book goes into enough detail to give the reader a base, and includes a few other pieces of information that might urge your reader to explore more.

This book covers a surprisingly large breadth of material. Children are instructed about many aspects of water in a non-intimidating, gentle format. Like a gently flowing stream the book takes children from raindrop to ocean, pausing at a great many stops in between. The young reader may not even be aware how much they've learned from this lovely book. The book touches on, but might have done more with, the terrible challenges of water for the 21st century: pollution, drought, flooding, conflict over water, and rising sea levels. Highly recommended for schools, libraries, and families.

Nice pictures. Interesting flow of content, I learned some things about the flow of water that came to mind when we visited a river that emptied into the ocean. Overall pleasant book.
