Illustrated by
Frane Lessac.
This book describes the March weather conditions of seventeen places, from the Arctic to Paris to Central Thailand. The poetic, good-natured text ("Polar bears ride on floes of ice, / stalking seals, / wishing fish") and detailed but unfussy illustrations depicting people and animals enjoying the great outdoors distinguish this book from other kids' primers on weather. An author's note provides additional facts.
