Review
"Each title in this weather series is designed to introduce the topic to very young scientists. How weather is forecast, what to do when severe storms happen, and what makes up the climate are some of the topics discussed. The text is simply written so that it can be understood and read independently by your youngest students. Full-color photographs complement the text, adding additional support for visual learners. Nonfiction features help young readers locate the information they are seeking. Each title includes a web link to download a set of complementary lesson plans. Glossary. Table of Contents. Index. [Editor's Note: Available in e-book format.] Recommended."―Library Media Connection
--Journal"Using simple language and no more than two sentences per page, these slim volumes present young readers with a basic overview of weather and climate. Despite some overlap, each book remains focused on a general weather-related question and provides readers with easy-to-understand examples and explanations. In order to maintain simplicity; however, some facts are overstated, such as 'Long, heavy snowfalls or strong winds with blowing snow are blizzards' or misleading, including the image that accompanies the statement 'Each season lasts about three months, ' in which the months that children generally associates with each season are slightly askew. Even with these minor issues, the vibrant three-quarter page photos on every page will give inquisitive readers an inviting gateway to natural phenomena and the people who study them. Solid introductions to the subject." --School Library Journal, Series Made Simple
