Each of the volumes in this early reader series about weather opens with an “Educator Toolbox” containing questions for teachers/parents to ask children before reading, and tips for guiding them while reading together. Facts about weather conditions are presented clearly and succinctly— what they look like, what can be expected, and what to look for. On some pages, when a new word or concept is introduced, a text box asks students if they’ve seen the phenomenon before. High-quality color photos support and clarify explanations. Questions are posed to young learners throughout to keep them thinking, engaged, and drawing upon life experiences: What do you wear when it rains/when it is snowy? Why does ice cream melt? Why do we sit in the shade when it is sunny? Back matter includes an index, photo glossary, additional questions, and a bibliography. VERDICT Recommended for schools and public library collections.
