The book uses simple, clear language to describe various objects and their interaction with water.

What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
None. The book is entirely secular and focuses on physical science.
Ideal Reader
A three or four year old child who is beginning to show interest in the 'properties' of things. This is for the kid who refuses to get out of the bath because they are busy watching their rubber duck bob up and down.
Parent Prep
This book is best read 'cold' but with the intention of doing a follow-up activity. Have a bowl of water and a few safe household objects ready to go. A parent might reach for this after seeing their child drop something they shouldn't (like a phone or a shoe) into water, or after noticing the child is fascinated by objects in a fountain or puddle.
