El tiempo cambia diariamente. Algunas veces incluso puede cambiar de un momento a otro - como una tormenta repentina.

Aprender acerca del tiempo y cómo vestirnos y prepararnos para el mismo es una habilidad importante que debemos aprender. Y quizás, la habilidad de observar sea incluso más importante. Al preguntarles sobre cosas simples, los niños se involucran y empiezan a observar y establecer correlaciones acerca de las condiciones climáticas que los rodean, para poder comprender de qué forma el tiempo afecta sus vidas diarias.
¿Cómo sería vivir como un dinosaurio? Los jóvenes lectores descubrirán que las vidas de los dinosaurios tenían muchas similitudes con las de los animales en la actualidad: nacían en huevos, corrían, cazaban, se escondían de los depredadores y crecían hasta la adultez.

Las palabras fáciles y repetitivas hacen que esta historia sea genial tanto para los lectores principiantes como para los entusiastas de los dinosaurios.
Weather changes daily. Sometimes it can even change from one moment to another—like a sudden storm. Weather affects our daily lives from what we wear to what outdoor activities (or lack thereof) we can do. Learning about weather and how to dress and prepare for it is an important skill to learn. Maybe even more important is the skill of observation. By asking simple questions, children become engaged and can start to observe and make correlations about the weather around them so they will understand how the weather impacts their lives.
