An educator favorite for first conversations about waterways and conservation. From the creators of the award-winning About Habitats and About. . . series. Author and illustrator team Cathryn and John Sill offer an accessible introduction to rivers and streams, their major attributes, the animals and plants that live there, and their remarkable global diversity. This colorful volume uses examples from the rushing springs of the Appalachians to the slow-moving Murray River in the flatlands of Australia to help preschoolers and early elementary learners understand the importance of the world' s waterways. An afterword provides additional details for more advanced readers. Author and former educator Cathryn Sill uses simple, easy-to-understand language to teach children what rivers and streams are and explain how various species of animals and plants have adapted to life in or along these waterways. Noted wildlife illustrator John Sill provides full-color photo-realistic art to show the characteristics of the world' s different rivers and streams--from the mountain streams of the Alps to the mighty Amazon River in South America. Students, teachers, and parents have testified to the strong appeal of all ten books in the About Habitats. . . series, especially the Deserts, Mountains, and Forests volumes.
"The watercolors are quietly exquisite. . . This powerful conservation message is both accessible and lovely. " -Kirkus Reviews "The book' s design gives equal weight to the words and pictures, which work together very well. . . . Beautiful in their composition, color, and sense of motion, these paintings portray scenes on six continents, helping viewers visualize common elements of rivers and streams in different habitats worldwide. . . . Well suited for classroom use, the book provides a handsome introduction to the topic. " -Booklist
