* Reviews *
When it is winter the suns rays hit the north part of the earth at an angle, so they are not as strong. This makes the air, land, and water colder and often brings snow and ice. This book easily explains to early readers these changes as well as the changes that winter brings to plants, animals, and people. Each chapter is only two pages long and consists of one to two paragraphs. There are bright colorful photographs on every page and the text is large and easy to read. Additionally, the glossary, identified as words to know, is at the beginning of the book so that young readers are aware of the important terminology as soon as they open the book. There is also a table of contents, an index, and a list of recommended books and web sites to consult for additional information. This is an informative and educational book ideal for introducing young readers to science and weather. It is part of the WhyDo We Have Seasons? series., Children's Literature
