“Fun yet informative line drawings elucidate an equally clear narrative, allowing readers to pool a reservoir of facts that can run close to home when website such as the EPA's are offered with the suggestion that students can ‘figure out the path of water that flows from your school.'”
National Science Teachers Association Recommends
