About this ebook

What’s life like when you’re a drop of water like Mr Splash? Well for one, you travel the world, you can get very dirty and sick, you can be a nasty killer or a lifesaver, you can be flushed down the toilet, pass through disgusting intestines, be a part of that great natural spectacle: the monsoon, and share great power with the oceans! All that and much more. Mr. Splash has been there and done it all plus a lot more as he recounts his roller-coaster life adventures to his two new friends, Rashika and Rohan.
