Product Description
From School Library Journal
Kindergarten-Grade 4-- While such concepts as cold and warm fronts are clearly explained and effectively illustrated, so many terms are introduced here that young readers may come away a bit confused about barometers, anemometers, wind vanes, hygrometers, and air pressure. This is still good introductory material to what can be a complex topic, and it could be used effectively if followed by class discussion. Illustrations are brightly colored and friendly, featuring the same boy, girl, and cat on most pages. Titles for the same audience include Kirkpatrick's Look at Weather (Raintree, 1985) and Rogers's What Will the Weather Be Like Today? (Greenwillow, 1990).

A great book for budding scientists,
By Angela J. Zaev "LadybugAZ" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: What Will The Weather Be (Paperback)
This is another great book in the Let's Read and Find Out Science series. Younger children (like my son who was age 4 when we first began with this book) and older children (who are reading on their own) will be delighted and educated with this book. Whimsical illustrations demonstrate complex scientific information in a very approachable manner.In this book children will learn overarching concepts of meteorolgy and actual scientific terminology in a progressive manner. Children will learn about: 1. Fronts (Cold and Warm) and their affect on weather. 2. How air pressure is determined and what happens in Low Pressure vs. High Pressure. They learn about barometers. 3. Wind speed and direction, including names of instruments (wind vane and anemometer). The colorful illustrations and simple diagrams reinforce the infomration contained in the book and help children understand the basic concepts of a weather formation. Diagrams include: 1. Fronts & Front Formations 2. Water Vapor 3. Weather Maps 4. High & Low Pressure Systems This book is an excellent addition to your science library. Perfect for budding scientists...or to generate a budding scientist by feeding their minds with sound teaching about the world around us rather than empty stories. 11 of 12 people found the following review helpful
