readons for seasons
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
This was a great book for teaching that the reasons for the seasons is the tilt of the earth's axis. Very straightforward and easy to understand diagrams without being too technical. Great for grades 2 and up.
Great book for kids!

I got this book for my 3-1/2 year old. She has been curious this winter about the season and is waiting for spring to come. This book has many details about the different types of clouds, precipitation, leaves changing, the sun, etc. She really enjoys this book!
Great Details
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
This is a great book because it offers detailed, factual information about seasons, and doesn't leave any of the important concepts out. It also has great illustrations that are labeled. Gibbons gives children credit for being intelligent enough to understand the complex ways in which our world works, yet understands their developmental needs, and therefore makes the text accessible.
