NGWA’s first children’s book, Mr. Mouse Gets a New Water Well, was provided to all of the young students in a Kansas classroom on September 26.
The book, which tells the story of the services provided by water well professionals, was first read to the second-grade class at St. Dominic Catholic School in Garden City, Kansas, by Dave Schulenberg, NGWA’s director of partner states. All the students then got a free copy of the book.
The class is led by Jenni Wedel. She is the wife of Tony Wedel, general manager of Hydro Resources Inc. in Garden City and past president of the Kansas Ground Water Association. The KGWA purchased and donated the books to the class.
In the 24-page book, Mr. Mouse needs water for his house at Great Big Tree and enlists Mr. Otter’s Water Services.
The book shows Mr. Mouse realizing the value of water, Mr. Otter visiting Mr. Mouse’s house and establishing the need for a new well, and a professional crew drilling the well and bringing a water line into the house and hooking it up.
The book is an ideal and fun way for young children at home or in classrooms to learn that water doesn’t just come from a faucet. It not only comes from the ground but is also provided by talented, trained groundwater professionals.
