Learn how clouds form and all about the different types of clouds.

Weather is all around us. What is the weather like where you live? Weather Report introduces early book explorers to weather conditions while helping them develop literacy skills.

What makes each season unique? This series explores the heat of the summer sun, the cold and snow of winter, the new blooms of spring, and the colorful leaves of fall. Students will learn the weather, animal behavior, and changes associated with each of the four seasons.

Learn about rain and its role in the water cycle.

Simple text describes lightning and how it forms.

From rain and puddles to flowers and bugs, the wonders of spring are all around us!

Learn about snow and how it affects people.

We experience different sights, activities, and weather each season. Books in this series introduce and label the unique sights of each season, helping listeners learn to read while also learning about the four seasons. Tightly controlled vocabulary and repetitive text patterns create an engaging and supportive listening experience.

Many animals take cover when it rains. They like to stay warm and dry too!

How do you know that spring is finally coming? The geese, of course! All you have to do is look for the V-shape in the sky and listen for all that honking as they migrate back from Canada!

The wind is moving air! When warm air rises through the atmosphere, cool air flows in to take its place, creating wind! Did you know that wind power can produce electricity? Tall machines called wind turbines are solar-powered and becoming the fastest-growing renewable source of energy–they burn no fuel and cause no pollution. Turbines can be found on many wind farms, especially in Europe!

The wind moves air. The heat from the sun warms the earth’s surface, warming the air above it. Warm air is lighter than cold air, so the warm air floats up to the sky! Why are some places windier than others? Learn what happens on a sandy beach when the air over the beach rises. Does the air become hot? Can you see hot air? Try the hot air experiment to find out how to see hot air rise!

Do you know what clouds are made of—they are made up of water particles! Learn about weather science, the characteristics of clouds, and how clouds recycle water. What are the effects on weather and different organisms in the world? Understand the science of precipitation—how clouds create rain, snow, and hail!

Taking listeners from the melting Alaskan permafrost to storm-torn New Orleans, acclaimed journalist Elizabeth Kolbert approaches this monumental problem from every angle. She interviews researchers and environmentalists, explains the science, draws frightening parallels to lost civilizations, and presents the moving tales of people who are watching their worlds disappear.

Jacqueline Briggs Martin’s Snowflake Bentley won a Caldecott Medal, a Parents’ Choice Award, and was picked as an ALA Notable Book for Children. Listeners of all ages will cherish this beautiful story about a real man whose discoveries changed the way the world saw snow.

The Earth is definitely getting warmer. There's no argument about that, but who, or what, is the cause? While the vast majority of scientists who study the environment agree that humans play a large part in climate change, there is a counterargument. Author Gail Herman presents both sides of the debate in this fact-based, fair-minded, and well-researched book that looks at the subject from many perspectives, including scientific, social, and political.
