Original Book on Book Dash: What’s happened to our water? (opens in a new tab)- Reading
- Pause at the river scenes and invite the reader to notice what changes in the water and how each animal responds. Then compare those details with the final cleaner-water scenes.
- Themes
- Pollution and responsibility: The animals find rubbish near where people live; the people apologise and say they will help. Later the pipe is fixed and the litter is gone. The story presents pollution as harmful and depicts people accepting responsibility and helping to put things right.
- Worth knowing
- The animals are visibly upset; one says the fish are dying, and another cannot drink the water. These moments may prompt questions about animal harm and dirty water.
