This gets the education in very stealthily. It starts off with simple sentences that seem innocuous: "This is a pool of water. The water is cool. The water is clear. The water is still." But by the end, we have learned about screens and how they catch things in the water and how different animals contribute to making the water dirty and making it clean.
