Goodreads

All the Water on Earth by Rochelle Strauss is part of the Citizen Kid series, encouraging children to be “global citizens.” The book is an informative and accessible resource on water, its uses, and its limits. I found it struck a good balance between hard facts (“Water is always on the move. It circles from Earth to the sky and back down again…over and over and over”) and inspiring wonder (“Imagine…the water you sipped today may be the same water a triceratops slurped!). Throughout the book we are reminded that “all the water on Earth is…all the water on Earth”).  Lively illustrations and engaging text will keep young learners interested in the many ways water sustains our lives.

Appropriate for ages 4-8, All the Water on Earth would make a welcome addition to school and public library nonfiction collections. End matter includes more facts about water and conservation, questions for discussion, as well as book and website suggestions for digging deeper. Useful for units on water, conservation, pollution, and the environment.
