About This Book:
What’s the weather like today? Let’s see! Award-winning author-illustrator Steve Light, a preschool teacher himself, draws on a morning routine beloved by many young children.
When Gus the rhino and Sully the mouse check out the weather each morning, they see and feel the same thing, but they experience it a different way. Bright sun is too hot for Gus and perfect for beach-loving Sully. Clouds inspire Gus’s imagination (“I see a bunny!”) but they just look like clouds to Sully. The wind is perfect for kite-flying for one, but threatens to blow someone small away. Whether rain or snow or sleet, Gus and Sully are on the spot, reporting back in their unique way. Wielding ink and watercolor, Steve Light ventures into an appealing new art style with a simple, funny board book ideal for children just beginning to explore the wide world around them.

Fun No Matter the Weather
Gus the rhino and Sully the mouse wonder what the weather is going to be like today. There are so many options. It can be sunny, rainy, snowy, and more. With each type of weather comes different activities, but Gus and Sully are prepared to make the day better no matter how the weather is.
GUS AND SULLY WATCH THE WEATHER is a cute read that I would recommend to children aged two and up to introduce the different types of weather we can have. Each section takes up two pages to showcase the weather of the day and what Gus and Sully plan to do. The illustration are a vibrant watercolor style with simple details, perfect for the younger audience.
Final Verdict: I would recommend this to children who enjoy the weather, animals, and for those who want to learn more about what to do on days that aren’t sunny. It’s a cute and simple read in a boardbook format.
