From the colorful and active cover to the fold-out world map this concept book is a winner for pre-school to grade 1 students.   Printed on card stock Water Land is sturdy while the large format and cut out sections are inviting to young readers.  For each body of water the land environment is shown and celebrated by a very creative author/illustrator.  The images change as needed, what is a leaf on one page becomes an open fire on another.  Early readers can easily sound out the simple text as they learn the names for the water forms and land forms.  A positive feature is the addition of a wide variety of water and land animal in their nature habitats.  Blue, green and yellow come alive  as the birds fly through the air, the marine life swims along the shore, and the local people go about their daily business.

Add this book to prep-K and K classrooms and place a copy on the concept book shelves in public libraries.
