All the water in the world is all the water in the world. We are all connected by water, and this message is beautifully, lyrically delivered from poet-musician-author George Ella Lyon. Where does water come from? Where does water go? Find out in this exploration of oceans and waterways that highlights an important reality: Our water supply is limited, and it is up to us to protect it. Dynamic, fluid art paired with pitch-perfect verse makes for a wise and remarkable read-aloud that will resonate with any audience.On sale: 03.22.11

George Ella Lyon is the author of “ All the water in the world “ and the illustrator is Katherine Tillotson. This is a great (P) book to read in the classroom. “All of the water in the world” has won Bank Street Best Books of the Year and was on the Chicago Public Library's Best of the Best list. #ucflae3414su20

dbears1 This book will help students understand there are many bodies of water all over the world and that water is not made but instead it is found. Teachers can connect this book to a science lesson about the cycle of water.

DrSpalding Word searches can be helpful vocabulary tools. Remember that not all text that rhymes is considered poetry. This seems like it is factual, non-fiction. What a great book to incorporate into a bodies of water social studies/geography unit plan. 4y

All the Water in the World is a Poetry picture book written by George Ella Lyon. It explains all about water, the different forms we can find it in and how water is not “made” but instead it is found in many ways. I think this would be a good science book to read when discussing liquids. This is a cool activity to go with it. http://www.miseagrant.umich.edu/lessons/lessons/by-broad-concept/earth-science/w... #UCFWalterslit

Caitlin4 I would have never considered the idea of using a poetry book to teach about water during science. That's a really neat idea. 6y
Nichdorsey02 Great way to introduce water to students in a different way than using a textbook. Poems are a great way to learn. 6y
