Review

Young readers with an interest in weather will find this slim text satisfying but will soon be looking for a book with more information. The large color photos which cover over half of each page bring the subject matter into focus. Readers will recognize weather maps from the evening news, it is the weather station, radar and satellites that will draw the most interest.

Certainly children will be confused by the pagination of this easy reader non-fiction. The first number that appears is 4, which is placed on the first page of text. As in all the first step non-fiction books the cost is beyond typical school media center budgets. Add this where early reader non-fiction collections exist but this is not a necessary purchase.

Overall Book Score: good
