Hey, Water! [Board book]

Splash! A spunky little girl plays a spirited game of hide-and-seek with water, in this gorgeously illustrated informational picture book for the very young. Now in paperback.

Hey, water! I know you! You're all around.

Join a young girl as she explores her surroundings and sees that water is everywhere. But water doesn't always look the same, it doesn't always feel the same, and it shows up in lots of different shapes. Water can be a lake, it can be steam, it can be a tear, or it can even be a snowman.

As the girl discovers water in nature, in weather, in her home, and even inside her own body, water comes to life, and kids will find excitement and joy in water and its many forms.

This paperback edition of the latest work from award-winning author/illustrator Antoinette Portis is an engaging, aesthetically pleasing nonfiction picture book, complete with accessible backmatter on the water cycle, water conservation, and more.

 ★ Portis’s main text is spare and accessible, with occasional, effective use of figurative language . . . The many permutations of water (not the book’s protagonist) are the focus of the crisp, uncluttered, primarily aqua-colored illustrations —The Horn Book Magazine, Starred Review

★ This simple introduction to water is an ideal read-aloud for the youngest scientists. Bold, beautiful, and equally simple illustrations are rendered with brush, sumi ink, and digital color. . . . Both school and public libraries will want this striking first science book on their shelves. —School Library Journal, Starred Review  

The text creates an easy-going, conversational tone while maintaining a good balance of scientific knowledge, lƒ!
