This book is comprehensive and informative enough for kids. (Recommended for ages 9 to 12) But for more serious weather watchers, they might crave for a more in-depth look at sky-watching. However, this is a good place to start for children learning about weather.

I have been using this book ever since it came out! Beautiful photographs clearly indicate the different cloud formations and the weather that they imply. Outstanding for children, and a great information-refresher for the people who teach them. Thank you, Bruce McMillan!

The text consists of a repetition of the words "left" and "right."
The book can certainly teach those two words quite thoroughly, but you might get a better deal from other picture books

I don't know exactly why, but my two-year-old really likes this book. If it were solely up to me, I'd rank it with one star less, but because of its enthusiastic reception by a member of its target audience, it graduates in my opinion from an "okay" book to a "good" one. The format is simple: a small photograph shows how each item of food grows, a large one shows a close-up of the produce, and the name of the color it represents is written- in that color- in big, bold letters on the page. There is one color/fruit or veggie featured per two-page spread. The variations from traditional associations were interesting and perhaps potentially confusing (purple string beans, brown bell peppers), but I'll tell you what-my toddler remains pretty jazzed about shopping for-and trying out-all kind of fruits and vegetables now, as well as having had his color concepts reinforced.

This book introduces children to rhyme in an intuitive and straightforward manner: two word rhymes are depicted in bright photographs of a summer day at the beach. "Sand Hand" opposite a child's sand covered hand, etc. The pictures appeal to toddlers, while older kids immediately begin rhyming everything in sight! "Play Day", also by Bruce McMillan is similar - a look book for lots of tots

this book is very clever, not too long but funny at times difficult to solve. good for some quick fun!

I bought this book for my 5 year old who LOVES horses. It has some nice pictures of horses, but there is hardly a story at all. It begins with a little horse introducing herself and then she spends the rest of the book saying "I thought I heard a noise...I can hear it, but I can't see it...I guess it was nothing. The End. I think that my 5 year old could have come up with a much better story. And you learn nothing about horses in this story. I can not recomend this book, as there are some calandars with equally nice photography.

My 3 year old likes this book and it has helped him with pairs. He even mentioned the glove part one day when we were looking for his gloves. As a grown up, the short repeative words with dull pictures gets old really quick. Luckily this was before the Olson twins.
