When I read the description of this book, I had very high hopes. Unfortunately, it seems more conceptual than factual. It tells what the weather might be like all over, but not why. Illustrations add some insight about the cultures of a geographic region, but again, no information is given.  kateweber | May 22, 2009 |  Use this book with a globe to really help your child understand seasonal changes and how one day can be so different in the many parts of our world.

|
On the same day that it's icy cold in the Artic, it's foggy in Louisiana, sunny in Barbados, and blowing wild winds called willy-willies in Austrailia. In this poetic exploration of longitude and weather, with bright and detailed paintings of seventeen different places, Marilyn Singer and Frane Lessac show us what's happening from the poles to the equator-- all on the same day in March.
