Content
Rain, storm or sunshine - young children experience different weather phenomena wholeheartedly and often have great fun playing with water and mud, but also outside when it's very hot. In this book, a different type of weather is featured on each page and made visible with vivid flaps. Children also learn which clothes to wear for what kinds of weather, and the potential dangers of sun and fog.The sun is shining and children are splashing in a pool. But why do the flowers need extra watering when the sun shines? Why do we have to use sunscreen? And what is shade? What can we discover in the fascinating clouds?
The idea that weather determines what we can do is explained: when it is windy you can fly a kite, and when there is snow you can romp around and build a snowman.
With the wheel on the back of the book, you can make the children in the picture slide down a hill of snow. The wheel is also used on the last page: readers have to match different kinds of weather to the clothing suitable for it by turning the wheel. Two lively finger games about weather round off this volume.
