Large color photographs of rain gauges, thermometers, weather balloons, wind vanes, and illustrated weather maps–along with narrative nonfiction text–illustrate the many ways to measure different types of weather and why this measurement is important. This book should be paired with Tools Tell the Weather (9781448888009) from the Rosen Common Core Readers Program to provide the alternative point of view on the same topic.
