This is a wonderful book- for boys or girls! It would make a wonderful introduction to a science lesson on weather, and it's a great story for parents to read to their kids. Parents and children alike will enjoy the stories of toads raining from the sky, snowstorms in summer, and snowflakes 15 inches across! This is a great, non-fiction kids' book. I enjoyed it, and I'm 20!

This is one of my all-time favorite easy readers. Perfect for teaching about weather concepts, this book will amaze kids! From frogs raining to pink snow to snow in June covering Thomas Jefferson's farm, an amazing read aloud! This is one of the most sought after books in my classroom library.

This is one book that my children keep asking for. They love hearing the TRUE STORIES of frogs, snakes, snails and fish falling from the sky and snowflakes the size of dinner plates. Finally a kids book where even I learn something!

If you are looking for a book to explain the phenomenon of "pink snow," this is not your book. Pink snow is explained on only one page, as falling snow formed around red soil. As a librarian who has faced homework assignments on the topic of "pink snow," I have learned that it is actually found in mountain ranges, under certain conditions, and is caused by microscopic algae. This certainly could have been explained on the easy reader level but it was not. I would hesitate even recommending this for leisure reading, since it will end up causing students confusion in the long run.
