Jean TaftWorm Weather (Penguin Core Concepts)

As a reading teacher, I can tell you that rhyming is incredibly important for reading development. Because nursery rhymes are going to the wayside (which they shouldn’t!!) it’s more important than ever to find engaging books with rhymes. This book does just that and more. While the plot isn’t really the main focus of this book, rhyming and other literary elements are and that’s perfect for the recommended age group. There’s even onomatopoeia that’s helpful for the classroom setting! The illustrations are rich and engaging. I used this for a literacy class for preschoolers and it was not only a hit with the kids and parents, but also in my mind as a teaching tool.

Cute colourful picture love it my daughter

This is the cutest book you will ever read! It’s a short, quick read—perfect for a lesson at school or a quick story before bed. Great for discussing rhyming words, digraphs, or blends with kids. It’s also a great introductory book to discussing weather or even onomatopoeias. The possibilities are endless. Overall a fantastic book and a fantastic price.

I love the simple text and colorful pictures. It’s a cute little story and an excellent addition to my daughter’s library.

My kids absolutely love the pictures in this book and ask to read it over and over .. however, I usually make up my own story because the writing, if you can call it that, leaves much to be desired and is basically just short two word phrases that rhyme. Wish there was an actual story to read, or more talk about the worms as my kids love going for walks and looking for worms after a rainstorm.

Fun read aloud foe kindergarten. Paired it with mud cake snacks with gummy worms!

My 2 year old and 3 year old love this book and it’s fun story. It has cute illustrations and silly rhythms that keep them engaged. We read this for the first time after exploring/observing worms in our yard after an early spring rainstorm cleared up.

Very cute and beautiful illustrations!
