DK Readers: Whatever The Weather (Level 1: Beginning to Read) (DK Readers Level 1)

Lots of word and event repetition. The story is about a boy looking out the window to observe the weather. Each day it is a different type of weather. The book shows a picture of William looking out at wind, rain, snow, and hail. My son just started reading about a year ago and is quite easy for him to read. He thinks its cool to read me this book and I think weather is a relateable subject for kids. The illustrations are a bit old-school looking. The original publication was 1999. Overall, great book!

The book was fine but it was strange to see a little boy sitting by the window through all different kinds of weather. Even my 4-year-old asked, "It's snowing. Why doesn't he go outside to build a snowman?" "It's a sunny day, why doesn't he go outside and play?" The reason he's waiting is revealed at the end, but it is weird that he waits *so long*.The weather terms are very simple and explained clearly.

Our bilingual home is very happy with all the DK readers we have bought. I no longer bother with the reviews or information about the books and just buy them on the title alone because of the consistency of quality.

This is cute. Why in the world are people complaining about the kid looking out the window? Hmmmm.... "look kids- it's snowing!!!" As we all look out the window.

Not what we were expecting as per workflow... Thought it was going to be more in depth.

I bought several titles from this series for my 6 year old grandson who loves science and they were right on target. Great pictures and text... very interesting and informative.

Great

I have been searching for some books to explain more complicated concepts of weather on a level that seems appropriate for our weather theme in Kindergarten. I liked this book for "where we're at" in our studies. Many books have already taught us the concepts of seasons, hot and cold, weather measurement tools, etc. This book explains the formation of icicles, what slush is, and how a rainstorm can become a hailstorm in a personalized way from William's point of view. It doesn't cover everything, but it's a good addition to read aloud to the Kindergarten students.
