Gr 3–6—This title presents essential information about water through written text and an abundance of visual formats, such as process diagrams, illustrated time lines, pie charts, graphs, tables, and maps. Using a mix of brief text and colorful, enlightening visuals, Banyard introduces readers to topics such as the water footprint, water power, worldwide access to water, and ways to clean polluted water. Neither alarmist nor overly comforting, this book provides the data needed for understanding the impact of water on our lives, discussing policies and issues, and making informed decisions. The text is clear and child-friendly ("If the entire Earth were the size of your bedroom, all the water would fit in two milk jugs in the corner"). The book ends with simple steps we can take right now to save water and protect this essential resource. For readers not yet ready for Stephen Leahy's Your Water Footprint: The Shocking Facts About How Much Water We Use To Make Everyday Products, this book is a fine introduction to the subject. VERDICT An excellent source for teaching and learning about water. A useful mentor text for exploring visual literacy.—Myra Zarnowski, City University of New York
