Clouds by Anne Rockwell

Clouds by Anne Rockwell
(Preschool - Grade 1)

Introducing a preschooler or early-elementary student to the joys of non-fiction books can be a challenge. A child may be head-over-heels excited about science but may quickly become discouraged with wordy or overwhelming texts. The Let's-Read-and-Find-Out About series is a wonderful starting point for this age group. Stage 1 books are aimed at preschoolers and kindergarteners, and Stage 2 are geared toward elementary students. Clouds by Anne Rockwell is a new Stage 1 selection at our library. It is an easy-to-read picture book introducing the ten different types of clouds with a page devoted to each. Preschoolers will relate to the discussion of weather - humidity, thunderstorms, snow, hail, even fog. Kids wanting to explore clouds even further will love the facts and project at the book's conclusion.
