Summary: This is an educational book that teaches students about air and weather. It begins by talking about air and how we know what air is. Then it talks about weather and how the weather is in the air. It describes different kinds of weather and how we identify them. In the third section of this book, it describes how we understand our weather using meteorologists. It details how meteorologists know what kind of weather we are going to have and how they help us to prepare. The last section of this book describes the seasons and how we know what season we are in. The book ends with four pictures of the same area taken during each of the four seasons and asks if the reader can identify what season is depicted in each picture.

My Thoughts: This will be an excellent book to use in my classroom when I teach a lesson over weather. It is written very well and is easy for younger readers to understand and grasp the concepts taught in the book. I also like how this book teaches every aspect of weather and how it is in the air, which is all around us. It also includes a glossary of terms that may be difficult for younger readers to understand or for readers that need a refresher on difficult terms. I love how this book includes real images as well to help readers connect what they are learning to their real world. I definitely can't wait to add this book to my classroom library.
