This book is a cross between Dr. Seuss and a meteorology text book.  Kids will have fun reading the pages without realizing that they are digesting a good size dose of science. ‘The Weather by Heather’ tackles many of the complicated elements in our atmosphere, but this book breaks them down into easy, understandable, and fun scenes. Enjoy!

It is often said that ‘a picture is better than a thousand words’.  These illustrations are used to kindle the imaginations of the children.  The bright colors capture their attention.  The messes made by Mr. Beedy help explain scientific concepts.  When we plant seeds of information in young hearts and minds, we never know how bountiful a harvest it will bring.
