ReviewedWoosh! A gust of air rustles the trees outside. It must be windy today! In this title, leveled text and colorful images will help readers learn about wind, how it forms, and how it affects the world around us. With engaging special features such as a diagram, activity list, and more, readers are sure to be blown away by this book!
'Gentle breezes to stronger winds are shown and talked about from cooling, to creating power, to causing damage in this book for emergent readers. Big beautiful color photos of wind blowing through palm trees and meadows of grass let young readers vicariously feel the benefits of wind. There is a 3 step graphic on “How Wind Forms” (p 15) , a “Question” (Have you ever felt a very strong wind?”) [p21], and a graphic “Windy Day Activities” chart (p 19) . Six science vocabulary words, appropriate to the topic (example- turbines), are given in the glossary each with a definition and color photo. There is more information available on-line through Bellwether Media’s safe “factsurfer.com” website.', Annette McQueen, South Sound Book Review Council, Washington
