About What On Earth?: Water: Explore, Create And
Product Description Learn all about the water cycle and find out how water shapes our planet. Make a precipitation gauge or grow your own stalactite. Find out how important it is to conserve water and harness its energy. This series takes a cross-disciplinary approach to science, exploring natural elements in our world through stories, culture, history and art - as well as the science behind each topic. Explore, Create and Investigate through experiments, activities and hands-on tasks. What on Earth? takes the reader on a journey of discovery to explore the natural elements of our world. From School Library Journal K-Gr 4—Prolific children's science book author Thomas explores natural elements in this encouraging STEM series. Each volume opens with two poems that gently introduce the subject. Each text goes on to approach its topic through a mix of basic science, hands-on experiments, and literature, specifically unattributed folktales from Native American (Wind) or Aboriginal Australian lore (Water). The simple yet informative crafts consist of common household items, but younger children will likely still need adult assistance. Morgan adds whimsy with retro-inspired cartoon illustrations. While the artwork brings depth and fun to the text, the visuals that accompany the Abenaki legend in Wind depict multiple teepees, which are not only historically inaccurate but also a reinforcement of a stereotype. VERDICT Public or school libraries should consider Water only.—Holly Boyer, Reston, VA About the Author Isabel Thomas studied Human Sciences at Oxford University, trained as a journalist and explored the world before becoming an author.
