The Weather by Heather

Teaching weather in a fun to read story for ages 5 to 10

In a library setting, The Weather by Heather is a fun to read fictional Early Reader Level 4 Chapter Book. Mr. Beedy, the local meteorologist, enlists fun ways to teach Heather the science of weather. Kids from 5 to 10 will relate to Heather's dilemma with her hard homework assignment and will laugh at the funny escapades of Mr. Beedy who constantly gets in trouble with the library staff.

Among many others, it is recommended by Chief Meteorologist Lonnie Quinn of CBS' The Today Show and The Early Show, and Sandy Whelchel, executive director of the National Writers' Association. This book will definitely get kids to look up at the sky more often.

This book is a cross between Dr. Seuss and a meteorology text book. Kids will have fun reading the pages without realizing that they are digesting a good size dose of science. ‘The Weather by Heather’ tackles many of the complicated elements in our atmosphere, but this book breaks them down into easy, understandable, and fun scenes. Enjoy!

It is often said that ‘a picture is better than a thousand words’. These illustrations are used to kindle the imaginations of the children. The bright colors capture their attention. The messes made by Mr. Beedy help explain scientific concepts. When we plant seeds of information in young hearts and minds, we never know how bountiful a harvest it will bring.
