Discusses what temperature is and how it is measured.
Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
PreSchool-Grade 2-- An extremely elementary summary of what temperature is and how it is measured on thermometers, without mentioning numbers--only high and low. Maestro explains the concept of temperature in terms children can understand: snow and ice versus lots of sunshine and the warmth of summer; the usefulness of cold to preserve food in refrigerators in contrast to that of heat for ironing wrinkles out. Giulio Maestro's flat, realistic watercolors fill every page, reinforcing and supplementing the text. His characters are middle-class, interracial, nonsexist, family oriented house-dwellers in Pleasantville, USA who enact scenes from everyday life on well-designed pages. For curious readers, the final page of notes gives a few more detailed explanations of such terms as boiling points, shivering and sweating, and Fahrenheit and Celsius scales. However, science teachers will find this limited beyond simply introducing the concepts of hot and cold. --Sylvia S. Marantz, Wellington School, Columbus, OH
