Reviews

[Matthew · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is cleverly presented, paralleling the weather outside with the weather inside of the house on a much smaller schedule. It's not too heavy on the science of the situation, only giving enough information to provide a young reader with an understanding of how water comes in many different forms. I liked its simplicity.

This book can be used to teach parallelism while also teaching about the different states of matter

This book is a great way to teach children the water cycle through common occurrences, especially during the winter months.

[Addison Sanger]

This book talks all about the different types of water and how they can occur. Would be great for curious students.

In this book, the water cycle is demonstrated through the eyes of a boy who watches the weather outside. (Although it is told in 3rd person). Throughout the day, Tony sees how water has a way of changing. This would be a nice introduction to the water cycle for the younger grades.

Picture book about how water changes and helps kids identify stages in the water cycle.

Reading this book aloud to younger children is a good way to teach them about meteorology. It is especially good for second graders.
