In her 16 years of writing for young readers, KRISTIN BAIRD RATTINI has explored subjects ranging from Star Wars to Stonehenge, from funny money facts to amazing animal pals. She's a frequent contributor to National Geographic Kids magazine.
This introduction to weather is aimed at level 1 readers and addresses the basics of clouds, wind, lightning and thunder, etc. The first chapter invites readers to “Look Up at the Sky” and makes the point that if you’re peering out the window to see if it’s raining or sunny, then you are checking the weather. “Flat, gray clouds” means it’s likely to rain, but white, fluffy clouds indicate a beautiful day. Glossary terms are defined in boxes throughout (a “droplet” is a “very small bit of liquid”) and each of the short chapters includes a joke (“What did the cloud say to the lightning bolt?”*) Bright backgrounds feature crisp photographs and a concluding quiz invites readers to identify weather-related images. Cheerfully designed and with large typeface throughout, this will draw beginning readers who enjoy nonfiction. As an added incentive, the title is part of the National Geographic Super Readers program, which allows kids to download prizes and extras as a reward for reading. (*“You’re shocking!”) Preschool-Grade 2. --Ann Kelley
