      A simple to understand breakdown of the water cycle, this book begins in the month of January and takes the reader through through the month of December, cycling through what water does during the months of the year as well as the seasons.

      Great book! My students loved the fact that they learned information without bolded vocab words or needing a glossary and index!

      The Snowflake tells a sweet tale of the travels a water droplet may undergo in the course of a year. It can be a snowflake, or evaporate into a cloud, or run through the pipes as you brush your teeth. While it probably wouldn't effectively explain the water cycle by itself to children, it would make a great addition to a unit on weather or the water cycle, or possibly even a unit on the three different states of matter.

      In The Snowflake we are taken through the journey of a single droplet of water as it flows through the many different paths water takes through the cycle of months. It begins as a snowflake in January on the peek of a mountain and returns to the same form in December. The water moves through rivers, ponds, irrigation systems, faucets, and purification systems before evaporating. This is a good book to use when talking about water conservation, seasonal shifts, and the different forms water takes.

      this book follow a snowflake through the process of the water cycle throughout the book. It starts off at the beginning of the year as a snowflake, but as the year gets cooler, warmer, hotter, and back cold again, the book illustates the journey. It shows how it is evaporated, rained out, snowed, in pipes, condensed, ect. This would be a good booik to use to have a prject onn the water cycle.

      Simple and effective, The Snowflake follows a drop of water (a bit of an oversimplification that I'm willing to look past) as it moves through various stages of the water cycle. Waldman avoids anthropomorphism and illustrates the drop's journey from January through December with beautiful water color paintings. Perfect to support a lesson on the water cycle.

      This is a collection of poems that describes the water cycle story through the months. This is a great book that combines writing and science. As a class activity, students could write poems based on what happens when the weather changes or the seasons.
