| Publisher Description: This 34-page book is a wonderful way to introduce science and nature to children.
The three main characters in this book are Priti, a proton; Ning, a neuton; and Ellie, an electron. Together, they form The EnteleTrons(R). It's Priti, Ning and Ellie's task to help Ice accept that it will soon become Water, and eventually turn to Water Vapor before reversing the process during the Water Cycle. Through an engaging story, children start to learn in an easily-understood manner about how the water cycle works, plus the the acceptance of change in their lives. The back pages contain The EnteleLab(R), a fun workshop where The EnteleTrons(R) find necessary tools to solve the problem. Also included are website links for activities and supplementary learning resources. However, there is much more to this book - woven in the pages are important life lessons. What's the Matter? has been recognized with a 2014 International Children's Literary Classics Seal of Approval. The Literary Classics mission is to honor excellence in children's and young adult literature, thereby encouraging a passion for reading while promoting education, imagination, and character in young readers.
