K-Gr 1–Providing answers to at least some of the interminable “why” questions, these books feature an easy sentence or two per page on a large, attractive photograph. The titles describe the weather phenomenon under discussion, how it happens, how it can vary, and conditions it can cause. Cloudy, for example, explains how to distinguish the different types of clouds, and sometimes what type of weather they portend–stratus clouds are described as being “…as flat and gray as dusty books.... They hang low in the sky, waiting to spill rain.” The few simple scientific facts are introduced unobtrusively, and the books also provide information on what scientists in the field do and sometimes on a prominent person. Each title includes an easy activity, such as making a rain gauge in Rainy, that uses readily available materials. (Some, such as checking to see what temperature it is, aren’t exactly activities). Unfortunately, the further-reading suggestions are often for an older audience or are dated and may be unavailable.
