(I gave this book three stars)This book was overall mediocre. Just as it promised, it showed water in all states, how much we have, how we clean it, how to conserve it.It explained water well but not in a interesting way. It wasn't great but it was a good choice for nonfiction. I wasn't pleased with the outcome of the book, it was kind of boring and the concept was repeated. It did say some knowledgeable facts, but it needed to engage the reader. It needed more communication with the reader to really grab the readers attention. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't great. : ) ( )

You Wouldn't want to Live Without Clean Water is an excellent way to show/tell kids and tweens about water and ways to preserve it. This book tells about the water cycle, how clean water keeps you healthy, how big your water footprint is, and etc. It tells you facts about how much water you use a day. Did you know that it takes 2.8 gallons of water to get a single sheet of paper from the tree to your printer. Showering for five minutes instead of ten can save about 30 gallons of water. It tells that some countries fight over oil but scientist think that in the 21st century its going to water instead.
This book is great for doing research or just to read for fun. It gives you interesting facts and colorful pictures. The way they wrote the book is very kid friendly. I love that they make it inserting so you don't fall asleep while reading it. Overall this is a very good and interesting book. You should defiantly check it out. ( )

Have you ever thought about how life would be without clean water? It sounds really bad according to this book. Of course people think that being able drink water is the most important thing. However, the animals you eat need water and water also helps sickness. There is actually this one interesting thing that says that you can put a flower in a vase and put food coloring in the water. After a day or so the flower is supposed to change color. Living things wouldn't be able to exist without water. Every single living organism needs water.

I am not a huge fan of most non-fiction books. However learning about some of the effects water is pretty interesting. There were many fun activities that you could do in the book. I actually plan on testing some of the experiments with my friends. There were little side stories. One was about this place the had a little spout of water people could drink from, but people always died there. It was because there was an underground oil site that got into the water. ( )
