aug17girl Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 Can anyone recommend a non-fiction book about the weather for early elementary grades? I am looking for something meaty with pictures that I can strew or read selection aloud from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

73349 Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 This would be too much for them to read themselves, but it's got a lot of information and pictures, and it's easy to find at less than $5. Meant as a late elementary or middle school textbook. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Twain Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 The Kids' Book of Weather Forecasting (Breen) is EXCELLENT. All of the Let's Read and Find Out books as listed above are great, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
