Starting school is a big deal, no matter who you are, and Sunny tries her hardest to impress on her first day at Weather School. Unfortunately, she tries so hard that her rays melt the frozen yoghurt in Frosty’s lunchbox and dry up the puddles Mizzle and Drizzle had picked out for a game of splash.
When the class head into the school garden to learn about using their weather powers to help plants grow, she makes another mistake, but with a bit of Weather Tots teamwork, soon everything in the garden is lovely again.
This will be a great book to prompt talk about starting school, but its real strength is the gentle way it teaches the very young about weather and the importance of sunlight to plants. A fun first information book – there are instructions for growing your own cress seeds at the back too – and the Weather Tots are jolly fictional friends.
Rain or shine they're here to play. What will the Weather Tots do today?
Sunny has a rocky start to her first day at Weather School. She's desperate to impress her classmates but - from melting Frosty's frozen yoghurt to ruining Mizzle and Drizzle's games by drying up the puddles in the playground - everything keeps going wrong. Will she get her chance to shine?
First in a brand-new series of picture books about a loveable group of young weather characters, discovering their incredible powers. The Weather Tots don’t always realize their own strength and so things often go awry, but their wise teacher, Professor Cloud, is always on hand to guide them.
Each book includes a make-and-do activity at the end, linked with the story, and a weather fact from Professor Cloud.
