Reviews
Kindergarten-Grade 3An attractive and evocative presentation of the concepts of planetary atmosphere and weather. An appealing assortment of boys and girls frolic through various weather phenomena, rejoicing in the taste of snowflakes, the tickly trickle of raindrops, and the cloak of invisibility loaned by fog. On the final double-page spread, a boy explains that Even when I cannot see it/I still know the air is there./It welcomes the sun in the morning/and frames the stars at night./I call it sky. The large, colorful paintings keep step with and solidly reinforce the lyrical language of the first-person text. Combine this inviting, enjoyable introduction with Peter Spiers delightfully squelchy (if wordless) Rain (Doubleday, 1982; o.p.), Patricia Polaccos gently reassuring Thunder Cake (Philomel, 1990), James Stevensons hilarious We Hate Rain (Greenwillow, 1988), Franklyn Branleys competent Air Is All around You (Crowell, 1986; o.p.) and Down Comes the Rain (HarperCollins, 1997), or Ken Robbinss poetic (if more complex) Air (Holt, 1995), and you have the nucleus of a fine whole-language science unit.Patricia Manning, formerly at Eastchester Public Library, NY
