What's the Weather? A What, Why, or Where Book  |
Weather changes daily. Sometimes it can even change from one moment to another—like a sudden storm. Weather affects our daily lives from what we wear to what outdoor activities (or lack thereof) we can do. Learning about weather and how to dress and prepare for it is an important skill to learn. Maybe even more important is the skill of observation. By asking simple questions, children become engaged and can start to observe and make correlations about the weather around them so they will understand how the weather impacts their lives.

Reviews:
Informative weather facts are featured in this book, which covers seasons, precipitation, and clouds. The text also briefly explains severe weather. Questions throughout keep readers and listeners thinking about their own experiences with the weather.
School Library Journal
A strong participatory element dominates, as young readers are encouraged to consult the pictures or their personal environments to consider such prompts as, “Describe what you see in the sky around you.” The book also applies discussions to daily life through questions referencing the different kinds of activities and clothes appropriate for different weather.
