A well organized summary of popular children's literature and nonfiction books related to weather subjects (rain, wind, snow, sunshine) and "bridges" that combine elements of fiction and non-fiction in each category. Written for busy elementary school teachers and librarians, each book is featured on its own page with bibliographical information, a synopsis, and also suggested questions to direct to students relating the materials to a scientific principle, demonstrating how language arts can be integrated with the social sciences and math. Lacks an index. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
