Hey, Water!

Water is everywhere. Follow a little girl as she finds the many different places where water can be found.
Hey, Water! is both a fun and informational story. It introduces the concept of water, the water cycle and the phases of matter in simple terms. There is a main story with the illustrations showing the concepts. The author uses different fonts to foster print awareness. An explanation of the water cycle, the phases of matter and water conservation are included in the back of the book for further exploration.

Loved this simple and lovely exploration of water in our lives. I'm also a sucker for good back matter, and this book provides several pages that go into greater depth in the water cycle, states of water, the scarcity of water, and ways to use it responsibly.

Summary: Young kid book about water. A girl experiences water in its various forms, addressing it directly ("Hey Water!").

Personal Reflection: Nice use of action to engage younger kids in thinking about all the different ways water acts. Evocative descriptions of water's forms. Fog, for example, "drifts in the air and hides the world." Really easy to imagine captivating young kids with a good reading of this book.

I love stories like this. They provide young readers an interesting and engaging story, but also provide them with an educational background and guide to the lesson. This book explores all of the many places where we can find water, and all of the different forms that it has. The character in the story discovers more and more about the substance and eventually finds out that water is in her too!
Love the story.

A book about water that talks about water and all of its form and how it comes to us, and it gives the definitions of the things it talks about in the book. Such as pool, hose, ocean, puddle, stream, etc. This book has the vocabulary for the things that are being introduced through the pictures on the pages and it tells about the ways that water is in our world and how it is nearly every where on our Earth. There is even a diagram of the water cycle in the end of the book which is very well illustrated and explains the water cycle well. This book is intended for ages 4-8 and this is a great book to use in science class to talk about so many different things and forms of water and how it comes into the earth. This is a great introduction show more to the many different forms such as solid, liquid and gas. show less

This picture book introduces young readers to the various forms and uses of water in a playful yet informative way. Ideal for preschool and early elementary students, it supports science lessons on water cycles and conservation. Its minimalist illustrations and engaging text make it a perfect introduction to environmental education.

This is a great book for younger students as it explores different forms that water can take in the world, walking us through liquids in the forms of lakes, rivers, and even dewdrops, to gaseous water such as fog, and frozen water such as icebergs. This is a great introduction to states of matter, particularly with water. It could also be paired with Water Protectors as an introduction to a unit on water and water ethics. The illustrations are captivating for a young audience as well, and there's a great water cycle in the back that can be used.
