Weather

This weeks book is Maisy's Wonderful Weather Book by Lucy Cousins

"What's the weather, Maisy? It's sunny — hooray! It's windy — hooray! It's raining — hooray, hooray! Whatever the weather, Maisy knows how to make the best of the day. Little fans will be proud to help with the forecast by pulling the tabs and turning the wheels to make the rain come down, the snow fall, the lightning flash, and even a rainbow appear!"

Read along with the book here!

The second book is Oh Say Can You Say, Whats the Weather Today? : All About Weather by Tish Rabe

"Come along on a hot air balloon ride with Cat in the Hat and friends, and experience various types of weather like rain, snow, thunder, even tornadoes!  En route, readers learn about different methods for measuring weather, plus humidity, cloud types and more. This book packs in a lot of information and does so in the much-cherished Seussian style."
