Cheerful, bright illustrations depict a multiracial group of children and enhance a very simple introduction to meteorology. Warm and cold fronts, air pressure, and a variety of measuring instruments are introduced, and the importance - and difficulty - of predicting the weather is presented.

School Library Journal

K-Gr 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).-- Rosie Peasley, Empire Union School District, Modesto, CA
