《Drop: An Adventure through the Water Cycle》是一本將科學知識轉化為精彩故事的繪本,由 Emily Kate Moon 以擬人化的小水滴 Drop 為主角,帶領孩子踏上一趟奇妙的水循環之旅。Drop 不只是水,她也是時間的見證者,從恐龍時代到今天,她都存在於地球的每個角落。
在故事中,Drop 帶著幽默又充滿活力的口吻, 告訴孩子她曾從天空的雲層一躍而下,化作雨滴落到地面;也曾在冰川裡沉睡千年,再次甦醒時又奔流進河川、湖泊與海洋。她無處不在,滋養植物、提供動物生存所需,甚至成為我們每天飲用的一口水。這本書最大的特色,是將抽象的水循環過程轉化為生動有趣的冒險故事,搭配色彩鮮明、充滿童趣的插圖,以及小朋友最愛的幽默旁白。讀者在笑聲中,就能自然理解蒸發、凝結、降水、滲透等科學知識。
《Drop》不只是一本科普繪本,更是一份提醒:水是生命的根源,也是我們共同珍惜的寶藏。無論是親子共讀,還是小朋友的自主閱讀,都能在其中找到樂趣與啟發。
