Lindeen’s Earth Science: Water is a early reader book all about that most vital of life’s resources. Readers will learn about where water can be found, the forms precipitation can take, and the states it exists in. At the back is a 'Connecting Concepts’ section for parents or teachers to work with the child on the material read. This is a fairly quick read, and a good teaching tool for learning all about water and its forms. The nature pictures are beautiful! 4/5 stars. NetGalley user, February 2018
