Ice Boy

Ice Boy by David Ezra Stein is a book you worth reading to children.  Ice Boy is an ice cube who lives in the freezer with his family.  He wants to know what life is like outside, so one day he leaves on what became a great adventure.  He goes to the beach, where he becomes Water Boy.  Later, Water Boy changes to Vapor Boy, eventually turning back into Ice Boy.  As Ice Boy, he gets reunited with his parents.  Young children would enjoy this book, but my older students enjoyed it as well.  Though it is a silly story, it could be used to talk about the different states of matter, especially concerning water.
