This was one really fun, cool and neat little book. And I seriously am telling yopu, you grownups out there, you can get this for the kid but YOU WILL hehe, enjoy the book almost as much as the kid will :) I gave it as a gift and from the latest I heard, she loves it, and like I say, it tell what all those things they always shows and dotted line and other wavey things when doing the weather on the news. The story line is just about the right length for most kids and is also a "happy and glad" story line for a change. So, everyone will love this book in your family, I'm sure of that. And hey, who can beat Janise Dean anyway? Hehehe Her humour comes through in the book.
