Book Mama: Beautiful Books about Water

Beautiful Books about Water

Boy Mama Teacher Mama  Books about Water

We just started a new unit of study in first grade. We are learning about water with a focus on how it is a precious resource that supports all living things. I was searching for books to go with our unit and came across these four beautiful books. I am so excited to share them with my class and to see what we do with them. Already have a few ideas brewing… 🙂

Simple text and gorgeous water color and acrylic illustrations celebrate water, our most precious resource.

Water Can Be spread

All the Water in the World by George Ella Lyon

 Water flows from a hose. It wobbles in blue pools.  It fills your cup up. But where does it come from?

This book is a story of the water cycle. It is by no means a dry, factual book, but rather a story of the water cycle that uses wonderful language like, “Thirsty air licks it from lakes, sips it from ponds [and] guzzles it from oceans.” The printed words on each page show the meaning of the words. And, the book urges readers to conserve water and keep it clean.
