The table of contents were clear with the content in the story. Each chapter was a question like What makes weather? What are Clouds made of? The chapters are easy to read and include colorful pages and pictures of children participating in weather. At the end of each chapter (which is only 2 or so pages) there is a one question quiz. I loved how the book integrated diagrams, photographs, and cartoon along with children's pictures. The glossary was very clear and included about 30 terms. The index took up one whole page as well. I enjoyed the fact that this non-fiction book could be read aloud to the class.
