Floods by Libby Koponen is a very interesting book for fourth graders and up. Kids can learn a lot about floods from this quick, easy read of only 43 pages.

The book starts with a few true and false questions; the reader can find the answers later in the book. The book includes information about rice plants growing under water; how flooding can be good for the land in some places; and the sinking city of Venice, Italy.

A Drop of Water by Walter Wick is a science project book and photography art book in one. Through the beauty of astonishing close-up photography and simple text, art and science combine to explain concepts such as evaporation and condensation.
