freeindeed Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 Agreeing with the Usborne books. Also, you might enjoy the Kingfisher First Human Body Encyclopedia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plain jane Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 For weather, we used this one: http://www.amazon.com/Weather-Eye-Wonder-DK-Publishing/dp/0756603234/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1274914762&sr=8-5 Another one that we used a bit of was this one. I have to run. I will post a few more later on. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aludlam Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 These are just some of the ones we used. I'd give you the whole list, but I didn't mark which ones we did/did not like. So, I'm only listing the ones that I know we liked. Body: Sleep is for Everyone - Paul Showers Hear your Heart - Paul Showers A Drop of Blood - Paul Showers The Skeleton Inside of You - Paul Showers What Happens to a Hamburger - Paul Showers My Five Senses - Aliki Germs Make me Sick - Melvin Berger Why I Sneeze Shiver, Hiccup and Yawn - Merlvin Berger Inside the Human Body Magic School Bus- Joann Cole (We also watched several MSB videos) Weather: What Will the Weather Be? - Linda Dewitt Air is All Around you - Franklyn Branley What Makes it Rain? The Story of a Raindrop - Keith Now I know Clouds - Roy Wandelmaier Snow is Falling - Franklyn Branley Feel the Wind - Arthur Dorros I Can Read about Thunder and Lightning - David Cutts Tornado Alert - Franklyn Branley Tornadoes! - Lorraine Jean (We also watched several MSB videos) (We also did several drawings and copy work from Draw Write Now Book 2) We really like the Let's Read and Find Out books. Hope this helps you some! Angela Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aludlam Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 I also wanted to add that I purchased a stethoscope from Amazon ($10-15). It was a great purchase. You can listen to all sorts of stuff and your heart too! (lol) I think they sell them at Walmart too. Angela Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
