ABBEY'S BOOKSELLER PICK ----- Water is the stuff of light, and whilst it might seem ho-hum, it truly is amazing. So goes the message in this bright and colourful book, great for ages 5-8. Bunting has a fabulously light touch when it comes to presenting science, and he strikes a lovely balance between wonder and fun with his expressive illustrations, amusing jokes and comparisons (your brain and a banana are roughly 75% water, for instance) and simply stated information. He also manages to sneak in a bit of mindfulness at the end! His books makes learning a joyful experience, and isn't that just what we want for our youngsters... Lindy
