5 March Books About Weather

  • National Geographic Kids Everything Weather is a nonfiction book that teaches kids all about the different kinds of weather.
  • Tornado! is a nonfiction book about tornadoes. These twisting, spiraling weather forces are interesting and scary, but students should be informed to better be able to protect themselves.
  • The Kids’ Book of Weather Forecasting is a neat book that teaches older students how to predict the weather. Learn about the things to look for before weather changes and how meteorologists predict the weather.
  • When The Sky Roars is a great story to share with students about storms. The thunder and lightening can be scary but if they learn what is causing it, they may not be so scared.
  • Weather in Spring is a nonfiction text that tells students about the weather changes that may happen in the spring. The snow melts, it rains more, and the temperatures start to rise are just a few of the amazing spring changes that happen.
