A Drop of Water

Morrison, Gordon. A Drop of Water. Houghton Mifflin,2006. ISBN 0-618-58557-5 $16.00. Ages 4-8.

In A Drop of Water, Gordon Morrison inspires his readers to think about what we miss out on in life. This book is non-fiction and is recommended to all readers who will enjoy this book because Morrison expresses nature vividly through movement, perspective and size. This is a great book for all readers because Morrison is able to take something so simple as “a drop of water” and make it into an adventure that goes beyond ordinary thinking. In another book by Gordon Morrison, Bald Eagle, he also uses perspective and size to tell another story about nature. The ending of A Drop of Water will lead readers thinking even more about the simple things that we regularly miss out on in life.
