Christine Petersen is an author of several books that survey a particular topic. Water Power was written for elementary-ages school children, and is ideal for the scientific-minded and investigative young reader. It surveys all important sources of water power. The chapter titles are “Water on the Move,” “Shaping the Land,” “Electricity from Water,” “Ocean Energy,” and “Making a Choice.” The book is well-organized with interesting side notes, a glossary of terms, an index, and a section called “To Find Out More” that gives books for further reading, relevant organizations, and helpful websites. The font is very large, the photos are very appealing, and the explanations are very clear. Photos include icy rivers, dams, reservoirs, oceans, hydroelectric generators, etc. This is an excellent and highly-informative survey of the importance of energy derived from water. Although it might seem like a boring subject, the material is presented in a very interesting manner that children will enjoy.
