1: The weather is lovely. Cone on in!
What a wonderful book for anyone with even a passing interest in weather. A wealth of beautiful illustrations, both graphics and photographs, aided the well-written script. Rupp uses a clever device to appeal to kids of various ages and attitudes: the continuing weather diaries of two siblings, one a meticulous, precise older sister, the other a boy of infinite imagination and application. They give their versions of the same information with words and pictures, bringing elements across in a way that may have escaped the mere pedagogues among us. I read it with our 6 and 9 year old and was pleased to catch our 13 year old taking a peek when he thought he was alone. All boys. All interested.
