Bearport . 2016. lib. ed. $17.95. ebk. $27.95. K-Gr 3 As Lawrence explores various aspects of water, she engages readers in the process. Although the illustrations are merely adequate, relevant questions interspersed throughout the volumes encourage readers to think before they turn the page for the answer. The "Science Lab" activity at the end of each book goes beyond listing instructions by including questions to foster prediction and observation. VERDICT Beneath Your Feet 's exploration of groundwater and Say Hello 's clear explanations of water's properties rank as top choices, but the entire series merits first-purchase consideration.
