Every river has a beginning, a middle & an end. Every river has a story. Want to hear it? This lyrical picture book follows a river’s journey from the mountains to the sea. The river begins high in the mountains: a clear stream made from melted snow. It slips over pebbles, skids round rocks & is fed by other smaller streams. Gradually, the river grows wider – flowing quietly past meadows, under bridges & through cities. Finally, after sliding slowly through mudflats & marshes, it meets salt water & becomes part of the sea… Winner of the English Association Non-Fiction Award Simple picture book narrative with lovely colour pictures A visual spread charts the key stages of a river’s journey Perfect for KS1 & KS2 geography bookadventure 2016-5to 7 explorer-reads 2016 bookadventurers-010716 ...
