*Laura Tobin author of Everyday Ways to Save Our Planet and Good Morning Britain weather presenter*

Little ones will be swept away on an unforgettable journey in this striking, action-packed picture book
*Creative Steps Magazine*

This series of books have some of the most eye-catching, striking and vibrant covers I have ever seen. These bold, attention-seeking illustrations continue throughout the book with Bethan Woollvins clever use of luminous colours, lines and shapes. When you eventually pull yourself away from indulging in the illustrations, you will see that the author has been just as creative!
*Reading Zone*

A fabulous book for future forecasters. I’m not sure who loves it more, my little girl or me!
*Holly Green, ITV Weather*

The jaunty rhyming text is great fun to read aloud, and the vibrant illustrations are packed with details. This makes STEM learning super fun – useful in nurseries and Reception classes alike.
