The camera stops the action so young readers can observe what they could not otherwise see: a drop of water as it falls from a faucet, water as a single snowflake, and much more. In A Drop of Water, Walter Wick embraces two disciplines, art and science, and stimulates the reader as aesthetic and scientific observer.

Product Description
The most spectacular photographs ever created on the subject of water appear in this unique science book by Walter Wick, author of A Ray of Light. The camera stops the action and magnifies it so that all the amazing states of water can be observed — water as ice, rainbow, steam, frost, dew.
Readers can examine a drop of water as it falls from a faucet, see a drop of water as it splashes on a hard surface, count the points of an actual snowflake, and contemplate how drops of water form clouds.
Evaporation, condensation, capillary, attraction, and surface tension are explained through simple text and illustrated by pictures that reveal water in its many awesome transformations.
The last pages of the book feature experiments that welcome the reader into the world of scientific investigation.
Full color.
