Weather Books

This story is about a little Asian girl's day during a rainy morning or afternoon in April. The book is lots of fun because of the rhyming words and also fun words that the author chose to describe the raindrops like ping-ping-ping of the rainy hitting the awning,Gurlge, Gurgle it goes down the water spout, pitty-plip-plop, pitty-pat-splat the rain drops I caught in my hat, and run-a-tum-tum raindrops on my umbrella!

Not only are the illustrations nice, the rhyming fun but there is also a little game of guess the animal by the sound it makes. This is a cute book for young children.


And it helps to remind us adults remember a rainy day and all the fun we had exploring jumping in puddles, making little stick dams, catching the rain on our tongues and just listening to the sounds / music the rain makes. Hopefully it will also inspire us to take our little ones out to play in the rain, to explore and to listen to the music the rain makes! Enjoy!!!!

"Whoosh Went the Wind!" opens as a schoolboy careens into his classroom with the excuse of how a mischievous wind caused him to arrive late. As he tells his story, his teacher becomes increasingly suspicious of his tale about a wind that blew dandelions from a field and the stars off the post office flag. A surprise ending will delight children aged 5 through 8. The book is lavishly illustrated by Houston-native Vincent Nguyen, who is also part of the art department at Bluesky Studios, makers of the movies "Ice Age" and "Robots." This book delighted my 7-year-old grandson.

This is a beautifully written book on rain that asks and answers a great many questions thoroughly and clearly so that young readers can understand very complex processes. The language is scientific, yet also written to engage children in the beauty and wonder of the world around them. The beginning of the book, in which the origin of rain is described, draws on children's curiosity and imagination, and leads them to value scientific inquiry. The breathtaking illustrations clearly enhance the story, the wonder, and the facts contained in the book. Each page is a delight to the eye!

I'm a mother of a 1 month old, and am happy to say that I read these books when I was younger.. And STILL have them!! I learned a lot from the books of Chris Arvetis and Carole Palmer, it really helped me understand things in life. If you buy any of their books, you won't be disappointed. I know my 1 month old can understand things, I will be reading these books to him.

Not long ago, meteorology seemed like a science topic that is important only for those who predict weather for government agencies or TV forecasts. Now, a basic understanding of the science of weather is crucial in order to discuss global warming, which may be the greatest threat to the future of life on Earth as we now know it.

Matthys Levy's previous books have helped us to understand other human disasters--the collapse of buildings, including the horrors of 9/11--and the devastation of earthquakes. Once again, in a science book that is actually fun to read, he helps us to understand basic science, demonstrating the historical effects of weather on human endeavors and the challenges we now face.

My son, age 9, is a weather buff. He has several books on weather that he looks at often, but this one is his favorite. He has learned so much from this book and he loves the color photos throughout the book. It even inspired him to take his own cloud photos.

My daughter is a struggling reader, so I'm always looking for high-interest topics. After reading Avalanche! and Volcano! in this early chapter book series, she's now hooked on natural disaster stories. She zipped through both books in a couple of days--very unusual for her. They have a nice combination of real-life survival tales and interesting science, including how to avoid avalanches and what to do if you can't. Both books begin with survival stories involving kids her age--sledders trapped under an avalanche in Minnesota and a boy in Turkey who survived an earthquake inside a collapsed apartment building. Great stuff.

This book is so good. My children are no longer scared of the weather! We say it's Wild Weather Soup Day and they calm right down!
Thanks so much.

I purchased this book for my kindergarten daughter recently. It is perfect. The text and pictures in the book are great.
It gives just enough information for her level.
