MANNY MATCHES THE WEATHER

The weather affects everyone, and learning to dress for the weather is a skill that may be taught to very young children through this interactive board book. Manny, the titular character, has his own fashion sense and likes to dress however he wants. But sometimes he discovers that when he goes outside, he becomes too hot, too cold, or too wet. With help from his mother, he learns that he can check the outside temperature, look out a window, or even open a window to feel how the outside air feels on his skin. Young readers are invited to help Manny figure out how to dress. Manny has learned to notice the weather via his senses and technology. The author closes the book with fun weather-related activities for adults to do with young children. This book is part of the “STEAMWORKS” series of board books. The series’ goal is to interest young children in STEM/STEAM learning. Many preschool curricula have clothing units. This book would greatly enhance instruction during a unit focused either on clothing or weather.
