Ice Boy

Written and Illustrated by David Ezra Stein

This book explains the water cycle in a simple way. The illustrations are nice and I like the idea. There is something just a bit off though because the ice family says goodbye to family members who go off to be a part of drinks. It is a form of “death” but everyone acts like it is no big deal. My son thought it was a bit creepy. It is a new idea though so it could be useful.
