Do you ever wonder where the water goes after it rains really hard? The excess water can overflow rivers, ponds and lakes. A classroom of kids decide to tackle this problem. They wonder, would happen if they put a barrel under a rainspout to collect the water? The kids work together. But what if the barrel is too small and the water runs out? The kids will have to come up with a solution. This is a fun problem/solution story on how to use rain water to help a garden grow.
I liked this book because it tackled a real environmental problem and showed young kids an easy solution. The kids worked together for a great end result. The book included excellent vocabulary words, but made it easily understandable for kids of all ages.
