If, like me, you're a fan of Marjorie Priceman's
How to Make an Apple Pie and See the World, you will love her illustrations in a new book,
Cold Snap, written by Eileen Spinelli. Feeling a bit jealous of the snowy weather reports in other parts of the country, my only alternative was to read about a week of falling temperatures in the town of Toby Mills. By Friday night in this freezing town, the cold residents are happy to gather for a time of merriment with a bonfire, hot cider, sugar-on-snow candy, and singing.
The book would be a perfect introduction to the concepts of temperature and hot-warm-cool-cold as described in the Fahrenheit and Celsius poems, available on the Math Learning Center website as a
free download.

ReplyDeleteLucky you!!!!!!!! We're FREEZING (with no snow!)
DeleteHuge Marjorie Priceman fan here so I will be checking this one out. Rarely any snow here in South Alabama, but at least we don't freeze that often either. In fact, I think it is supposed to be 80 tomorrow. Oy!
