Sun, Snow, Stars, Sky - Hardcover

Ages 4^-7. In this simple introduction, a little girl and a little boy roam through all kinds of weather, engaging in activities appropriate to the season. The watercolor illustrations reflect a childlike sensibility and are suitably engaging. In addition to presenting seasonal activities (such as a picnic in the summer and skating and sledding in winter), the authors list some standard "funny things" people say about the weather: "Rain, rain go away" ; "If the cows are lying down, it's going to rain." There are enough full-and double-page illustrations to make this usable with small groups, and the text lends itself to interactive discussion with young children. Janice Del Negro
