This review is from: Sing Along with the Weather Dude (Paperback)

I ordered this book and CD when I was homeschooling my children and we were studying weather. They loved it. We listened to it over and over and they learned a lot of fascinating facts. The wonderful thing about this CD is that they still want to listen to it even though we finished our weather unit almost a year ago.

To listen to snippets of the song, check out Weather Dude's website at www.wxdude.com. Note that this is a book/CD combination. I'm taking a trip with my niece and nephew and we'll play this along with our Nature Nut CD's.
