PreS-Gr 2–Explore the mesmerizing celebration of water and its wonders in this lyrical board book. The text, interwoven with Spanish words, features an older woman explaining the different features of water to a young girl. While the word count is higher than in typical board books, it will appeal to a variety of ages. The vibrant art complements the text and will keep readers engaged.
VERDICT With the inclusion of both Spanish and English words, this is a useful and beautiful title for all libraries.
