The Fly Guy series is an interesting and informative series for early elementary students. In FLY GUY PRESENTS: WEATHER, Fly Guy and his friend, Buzz, visit a weather station and gather interesting bits of information about the Earth’s climate along the way. From the types of clouds to different storms, FLY GUY PRESENTS: WEATHER examines the aspects of weather and the climate that would most appeal to its intended age group. The end of the book includes a list of ways readers can help the earth in dealing with climate change.

The drawings and photographs throughout the book are interesting and engaging and, again, age appropriate.

The Fly Guy series is a great one for classrooms and for kids with specific areas of interest. I highly recommend it for teachers and school librarians, and for parents who are trying to foster a desire to learn about the various subjects Fly Guy investigates.

My thanks to the publisher and to YA Books Central for a copy of the book in exchange for my unbiased review.
