Editorial Reviews

From Booklist

This introduction to weather is aimed at level 1 readers and addresses the basics of clouds, wind, lightning and thunder, etc. The first chapter invites readers to “Look Up at the Sky” and makes the point that if you’re peering out the window to see if it’s raining or sunny, then you are checking the weather. “Flat, gray clouds” means it’s likely to rain, but white, fluffy clouds indicate a beautiful day. Glossary terms are defined in boxes throughout (a “droplet” is a “very small bit of liquid”) and each of the short chapters includes a joke (“What did the cloud say to the lightning bolt?”*) Bright backgrounds feature crisp photographs and a concluding quiz invites readers to identify weather-related images. Cheerfully designed and with large typeface throughout, this will draw beginning readers who enjoy nonfiction. As an added incentive, the title is part of the National Geographic Super Readers program, which allows kids to download prizes and extras as a reward for reading. (*“You’re shocking!”) Preschool-Grade 2. --Ann Kelley

    Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

    As a freelancer who has written for children's magazines for 22 years, I've had the challenge of introducing young readers to a wide range of topics and the thrill of hooking their attention with writing that's both educational and entertaining. For Boys' Life and National Geographic Kids (Magazine and Books), I've covered everything from ancient Greek myths to the secrets behind Star Wars, funny money facts to amazing animal pals. Several of my stories are included in the 2010-2019 editions of the National Geographic Kids Almanac and National Geographic Kids 125 True Stories of Amazing Animals. I also wrote Angry Birds Explore the World, a 96-page special issue of National Geographic Kids.

    My other specialties include personal profiles, healthcare, travel and consumer finance stories for such publications as People, Family Circle, American Way and dozens of others.

In these books we hope children will find whatever excites them about our planet and encourages them to explore it: eye-popping facts, fun photos, fascinating history, stimulating science and technology, amazing animals, or just a brilliant story.

My 2 year old LOVES this entire series of Nat. Geo Readers... I have purchased about 25 different titles, "pre-readers" as well as Level 1 & 2 readers. She loves them all & will ask for certain ones. The "pre-readers" level books are extremely simple & great because she memorizes the words & can "read" it herself. We love the more advanced ones too, because there is more information to talk about. I have learned quite a few facts, myself!) What a great series. The price is reasonable & pictures are great. These are really getting her interested in nature, animals & science... I will continue to buy these as they are released, for our collection!

Reviewed in the United States on November 10, 2014

My 4 year old son is very interested in tornados. The picture on the cover caught my eye. There isn't specific information on any type of weather. This is more of an introduction (Level 1) to what weather is. The information and pictures were well worth the price and it is also a good beginners book to reading. I would recommend it if you aren't looking for a detailed book on weather.
