Synopsis :

This fun collection of poems about the weather is a good way to "lure beginning readers—and also younger listeners—to the joy of sounds that make sense." (Booklist)

Booklist praised the range and approachability of the poems collected in this 64-page Level 3 I Can Read collection, "from the catchy nonsense of X. J. Kennedy's 'Snowflake Souffle' to the simple, surprising imagery of Valerie Worth's 'Sun' to Hopkins's own onomatopoeic 'Thunder,' [with] short lines, satisfying rhyme, and physicalness of the words."

Weather is a Level Three I Can Read book. Level 3 includes many fun subjects kids love to read about on their own. Themes include friendship, adventure, historical fiction, and science. Level 3 books are written for early independent readers. They include some challenging words and more complex themes and stories.
