About the author

Blake A. Hoena grew up in central Wisconsin, where, in his youth, he wrote stories about robots conquering the Moon and trolls lumbering around in the woods behind his parents house, and the fact that the trolls were hunting for little boys had nothing to do with Blake’s pesky brothers. Later, he moved to Minnesota to pursue a Masters of Fine Arts degree in Creative Writing from Minnesota State University, Mankato.

Since graduating, Blake has written more than thirty books for children, including retellings of The Legend of Sleepy Hollow and the Perseus and Medusa myth. Most recently, he’s working on a series of graphic novels about two space alien brothers, Eek and Ack, who are determined to conquer our big blue home.

Reviews

[Codie Gates]

This is a great ABC all about the weather. It talks about all the different types of weather like rain and tornadoes. This book also has a vocabulary list at the back and a page of other great resources you can use along with this book.

Future weather watchers must read this book. It has wonderful photographs with a brief weather related explanation by each letter of the alphabet which could make it a too long of a read or listen to some.
