**Books for Topics Recommended Reads - 50 Best Books for Year 2 (Children Aged 6-7)**
Unfold a world of discovery with this fascinating, science-packed story with a giant fold-out.
Small Sparkling Raindrop tells the never-ending story of a raindrop as it falls from a cloud, becomes part of a river system, from small mountain stream to the giant Mekong river in southeast Asia, before evaporating back into the clouds. When it returns to Earth again, it ends up in a glass of drinking water and a completely different journey is about to begin.
The text has two reading levels. The main story is written in the first person and is easy to read for beginners. The additional caption text is for confident readers, rich with information. The giant fold-out will delight and fascinate every child, with its illustrated water cycle, map of the world's major rivers and the I-Spy game taking them back into the book to find the Asian animals.
For educators, the story touches on many primary science topics, such as the weather, evaporation and the power of water and rivers. It also lays the foundation for topics around the Earth's freshwater resources, the threat of water scarcity, the need for river dams for renewable energy, and the threats to the animals and people living downstream. A brilliant addition to any home or school library with lots of detail that will be returned to again and again.
This is Book 5 in the Start Small, Think Big series of science-based picture books, each focusing on a different life cycle, habitat and region of the world, with online activity sheets to support children's learning both inside and outside the classroom.
Ideal for 5 to 8 year olds and perfect for any home or school library.
