The story of water holds a fascination for everyone and many questions arise around this subject. This text was generated from a series of questions that 2,100 elementary school students in the Lake Simcoe watershed area in Southern Ontario asked about their lake. With the help of experts, some fascinating and informative information regarding the Great Lakes in Southern Ontario is presented. Each two-page spread answers various questions on topics relating to our lakes; for example, formation of the Great Lakes, how fish got into the lakes, what is on the bottom of a lake, plants and animals surrounding the lakes, pollution, algae, and much more. This appealing text is colourfully illustrated with a variety of large photographs, drawings, diagrams and cartoon characters, adding humour and interest along with fact. Questions are answered in anecdotal style and the information is clearly presented for intermediate readers. As reference, this book should prove useful for science and
ecology projects. The final pages discussing pollution and the future of our lakes provides fuel for interesting classroom discussion. An extensive index is included as well as a table of contents. This text should prove useful in an elementary school library or classroom collection. (Carolyn Cutt Resource Links 2016-12-01)
