Hit me with your best books on the weather for a seven year old who is a good reader. I’m looking to do some interest-led science with him in the coming weeks. I’d really like one nice encyclopedic selection for us to read together, but I am open to any and all suggestions.

I would include Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs for fun. :) I also have a nice book called Weather and Art Activities from the Science and Arty Facts set. If you can find it used, it is great to add some art to a weather study. For a spine in 2nd grade we used the Usborne First Encyclopedia of ... series.

The Weather Pop-Up Book by Francis Wilson, Illustrated by Philip Jacobs.  It has passed repeated purges of old books and remains here on shelf (ds now 15yo) to tell you about it.  Lots of informational text, and the pop-ups pull outs and so on, help to understand the things it is explaining.

Starting on page 780 The Handbook of Nature Study has a lengthy section on weather.

Click on "English"

Scroll about half way down to the Asimov books or search using "Control f"

I only see one weather book so will link directly

How Did We find Out About the Atmosphere?

"control f" for weather brings up a few more books. Try other words that have to do with weather like "rain" and "snow". Mostly literature will come up, but...you never know what you will get.

 

The Anneneberg site is always a good place to search for free science stuff. There is some sort of interactive storm chaser activity and I don't know what else there is.

I just recently learned you can borrow newer books from archive.org. Here are the search results for "weather"

https://archive.org/search.php?query=weather

and filtered for just weather books

https://archive.org/search.php?query=weather&and%5B%5D=mediatype%3A%22texts%22&page=2

 

Here is the description and instructions on how to borrow books. To just read in the browser, all I needed was an e-mail address. Nothing else. Downloading a book is more involved and invasive.
