"A beautiful take on the water cycle. Waldman traces the journey of a single drop of water throughout the year, with each month receiving its own spread. The water begins as a snowflake that melts into a droplet, flows into the ground, bubbles up in a spring, flows into a farm's irrigation system, evaporates into the morning fog, becomes part of a cloud, rains down, enters a plumbing system, washes a little girl's face, flows out to the ocean, gets swept onto the shore and evaporates into the sky to become a snowflake once more. The clear text is undeniably lyrical: "It flowed past fields of waving sea grasses, over corals of many colors, and into the mouths of great striped fish." The real stunners here, though, are the dazzling, cool-tones paintings that convey the wonders of nature with delicate precision. A must for libraries and science classrooms." School Library Journal

K-Gr. 2. This beautifully illustrated picture book follows a single droplet of water as it moves and changes throughout one year. With a double-page spread for each month, the story traces the droplet's journey from snowflake to mountain pond to underground stream to river to irrigation system to cloud to reservoir to city water system to bathroom sink to drain pipe to cloud and back to snowflake. A few sentences of text on each spread comment on the droplet's form, travels, and surroundings. More effective and memorable, though, are the subtle hues and varied compositions of Waldman's paintings in this unusually handsome presentation of the water cycle. Carolyn Phelan

One snowflake's path around the world
By Corinne H. Smith
The complex topic of hydrology is simplified here so that children (and adults) can easily understand it. In calendar style, we follow the path of one particular snowflake falling on a mountain. Over the course of twelve months, it becomes a droplet of water that melts into a stream, passes through an agricultural irrigation system, lifts up into a summer fog, drops into a reservoir, flows through city water pipes, drifts in the ocean, rises into a cloud and once again becomes a snowflake falling on a mountain. We come full circle and can start the story all over again from the beginning of the book.
Neil Waldman's paintings brightly convey the realistic journey and are colorful, clean and beautiful to boot. "The Snowflake" is a nice addition to elementary school and nature center shelves, as well as a good read-aloud storytime selection that will prove thought-provoking to the young.

Great concept. Story a bit bland.
By Budgiegirl
I really liked the concept of following a snowflake (turned droplet) around the water cycle. However - I found the reading a bit dry. The story is presented as a month by month snippet , i.e. January, then February, and so forth. I felt like the story could have been spruced up a bit - maybe by giving the snowflake a bit more of a "persona" to make it fun for young readers. I also thought it could have gone into more of an explanation about what was happening, rather than just saying "it evaporated." I don't think my kids will be requesting to hear this one again and again. Incidentally, I am a very science-y person and it would not have taken much to interest me about the water cycle... so in sum: Nice concept. Boring reading.

Great Non- Fiction for Children!
By D. C. Brashear Taylor
I am a first grade teacher in a district that has adopted the Common Core Standards- which means that there is a push for the use of more non-fiction texts in classroom instruction. So this past school year, during our unit on making inferences, I decided to find a non-fiction text to introduce the concept instead of the fiction I have used for the same purpose in previous years. I figured I could kill two birds with one stone- science and reading in one!
This book is an amazing non-fiction text to teach inferring (especially making inferences to determine word meanings) and many other reading and science concepts. It basically follows a snowflake through the seasons, discussing how the snowflake changes with the seasons and weather. (i.e- from a snowflake in January to a water droplet in February-then briefly refreezing, becoming a water droplet again, becoming ground water, evaporating, becoming rain, etc.) The text is written in a way that is easy for younger students to understand, but peppered with vocabulary to challenge them to infer meaning through the use of context clues. The illustrations are wonderful and engaging as well, offering supporting context clues for students that are visual learners.
My students loved this book and often asked to "check it out" of our classroom library during independent reading time.
I recommend this book to parents, teachers, or anyone that just enjoys great children's non-fiction! I will use this book again with our inferring unit this year.
