Feb 2024 - As soon as I saw this I had to pick it up. This book is the perfect introduction to several different types of weather. The story is really cute too. A two-year-old can easily learn all the words very quickly. The last page with the pictures of eight different weathers is great for learning the weathers and encouraging conversation around people's favourite types of weather.

A sweet little book about nature and the seasons featuring the owl from "Wow! Said the Owl." I only wish it came in a bigger format to share in larger storytimes.
