About this title

From School Library Journal

Kindergarten-Grade 2–Since it covers both seasons and weather, this series is a better choice than ABDO's similarly titled Weather Watchers. The format is the same as that of The Child's World's Earth's Continents, with plainly written text opposite a full-page illustration on each spread. The books on the seasons explain when it is in relation to the others, what the weather is like then, plant stages at that time, and what animals are doing. While the books on weather employ easy explanations of scientific phenomenon such as the water cycle, and include a diagram as well as photographs where appropriate, it's unfortunate that Clouds stops short of naming the different types of formation instead of simply describing them. Still, these introductions, like their sister series below, are attractive and will be a hit with curious youngsters.
