about a mother and son who are on an adventure together and her son has
many questions about the wind and what happens when it blows. This book
also explains why it rains and what happens to the wind after it blows by
you. I found this to be very engaging when talking about the different types
of weather.

other pumpkins and often got made fun of because of it. But he proved that

Christmas being during the winter season.

raining and no one likes the rain. So the little cloud tries to help everyone
and make them happy but gets himself in trouble when he does. This book is
a good way to talk about rain and why it has to rain and what happens
during this kind of weather. This could be a good way to introduce the rainy
spring time to the class.
9. Sand Castle
By: R. A. Montgomery
This book is a book that lets children use their imaginations. This can
be a good one to read when talking about summer and taking a trip to the
beach. The book sets up a story that allows the child to finish it the way he
or she wants. It lets them use their imaginations and talk about how they
would save their sand castle during a storm on the beach. This could be a
good way to let the students share their vacation stories.

you can do in the snow. Throughout the book it shows two kids playing,
