A useful hi-lo nonfiction set to learn the basics of weather conditions through accessible text. Each book begins with the question, “What is weather?” and sets the tone for interesting facts, clear text features, and engaging color photography. Appealing sections about what can go wrong and how to stay safe in weather conditions will attract readers. These books include a table of contents, glossary, and index.

THOUGHTS: The high interest subject matter and low vocabulary fill an important gap in school libraries that serve a range of learners. Reluctant readers, ELL students, and dyslexic students will be supported with these books. A good addition for curriculum with weather units.
