Read and find out about how to forecast a change in weather by looking at the clouds in this colorfully illustrated nonfiction picture book. At any given time, more than half the earth is covered with different types of clouds. Some are dark and scary rain clouds, and some are just big white puffs. What kind of cloud is in the sky above you, and what can you expect the weather to be? Instead of turning on the TV to find out what the weather will be, you can look out your window at the clouds. This clear and appealing science book for early elementary age kids, both at home and in the classroom, is a Level 1 Let's-Read-and-Find-Out, which means the book explores introductory concepts perfect for children in the primary grades.

School Library Journal

Gr 23Rockwell introduces 11 different types of clouds according to their positions in the atmosphere. Besides the basicsfog, cirrus, stratus, and cumulusshe also provides information about cirrostratus, cirrocumulus, cumulonimbus, altostratus, altocumulus, nimbostratus, and stratocumulus. The author describes each type of cloud formation, explains where it is found in the sky, and tells what kind of weather is associated with it. Attractive folk-art-style paintings show the clouds and children playing or working outside. The information is solid but too much is covered for this to be considered a "Stage 1" book. Marion Dane Bauer's "Clouds" (S & S, 2004) is a better source for this age level."Sandra Welzenbach, Villarreal Elementary School, San Antonio, TX" Copyright 2008 School Library Journal, LLC Used with permission.
