This informational book is about children's experiences with water around the world. The book focuses on 6 children from each continent of the world, including the U.S.A., Peru, Mauritania, Bangladesh, Ethiopia, and Tajikistan. It is a booky aimed to get young children (particularly in developed countries) about other children their age's experiences with water; how they value it, how they use it, and how they are able to obtain. I would have students in 4th-6th grade read this book, although 3rd graders may be able to understand it. ( )
