  1. Molly Q gives a comprehensive look at the water cycle for Elementary school student, while introducing environmental awareness

  2. Near the North Pole Molly Q, a water drop lay frozen in a giant glacier for hundreds of years.

  3. One day as her frozen field crept slowly south, a chunk of ice splashed into the ocean with a thunderous crash. Suddenly Molly Q was carried away.

  4. The bright sun melted the large lump of ice as she floated along. Molly Q soon slipped into the salty sea.

  5. Molly Q passed many fantastic fish as she swirled along in the southern current. She also passed oodles of odd objects. Do these items belong In the ocean?

  6. After traveling a great distance, a large wave washed her ashore. She landed next to a cranky crab caught in some gooey gum.

  7. The sun beat down upon the sandy shore. Soon Molly Q became light and floated into the sky.

  8. Joining a cloud climbing higher and higher. More water joined her and the cloud became heavy.

  9. In time the cloud burst into a rain shower. Molly Q fell from the sky just as the sun appeared.

  10. Landing on a soft leaf with a “plop”, she slid by a colorful caterpillar.

  11. Molly Q wiggled through the damp dirt, squeezing between the rocks below.

  12. With a “ker-plunk”, she landed in a rocky underground waterway. She traveled a long way through the deep dark holes I the rock until she was sucked up into the roots of an old oak tree.

  13. Molly Q traveled up through the trunk, moving minerals to the mighty oak’s leaves.

  14. It was a hot dry day. Molly Q cooled the leaf as she traveled through to the shiny surface.

  17. Midwest Book Review • Delightfully written and charmingly illustrated by Kristene Newcomb, "Molly Q's Trashy Travels through the Water Cycle" engagingly introduces elementary school students in kindergarten through the third grade to an environmental awareness of the importance of the water cycle. Molly Q is a water drop who travels from an icy glacier near the North Pole to an aquifer, then transpires through an oak tree, runs off into a storm drain, experiences herself as rain, hail and snow, and along the way encounters a variety of animal life. Molly Q's journey also deals with the phenomena of pollution. Nicely enhanced with the inclusion of a glossary of water cycle terms and a water cycle chart, "Molly Q's Trashy Travels through the Water Cycle" is an ideal addition to school and community library Environmental Studies collections for children, and highly recommended for home schooling curriculums as well. • Midwest Book Review’s September 2007 Edition of “Children’s Bookwatch”.
