The Drop in My Drink

By Meredith Hooper
Illustrated by Chris Coady
1998

This is an older book as far as science resources go, but it is a gem! It tells the story of the water cycle as a riveting narrative--comets, dinosaurs, giant pythons, caves--the whole nine yards. The story begins and ends with a boy holding a glass of water and considering where each drop has been. Really lovely for an upper-grade read-aloud.
