Weather Near You, by Mary Lindeen is an informative book that provides a fun way for children to learn about various aspects of weather.

As a part of the Read and Discover Science series, this book encourages children to learn about scientific subjects while working on their reading skills. According to a note from the publisher: "The series can be used with beginning readers to practice high-frequency words, academic language, and to expand comprehension of life, earth, and physical science."

Within thirty-two pages, there are interesting weather facts and Did You Know sidebars intermixed with intriguing full-color photographs. Also, there are Connecting Concepts and Word List sections.

Weather Near You is a children's picture book that's geared toward kindergartners to third graders.


Note: I received this book from NetGalley, which is a program designed for bloggers to write book reviews in exchange for books, yet the opinions expressed in this review are my own.

Weather Near You is part of the Earth Sciences series for young readers by Mary Lindeen. Full of gorgeous weather pictures, this installment helps young readers understand how weather can differ depending on location and how to find out about your local weather, so you can stay safe when bad weather is coming. Like the others in the series, this one has simple, easy to read sentences, and provides grounding in basic scientific concepts in ways young readers can grasp. The end of the book features a Connecting Concepts section with questions to ask about the reading, and practise with vocabulary and reading fluency. My cubs and I enjoyed reading this book, not that we don't have a great personal example every day. We live in a pocket climate :P
