The last few nights of heavy winds and days of freezing temps are a little bit scary and give me the shivers. Luckily a new book has come to our shelves. Stormy Weather by Debi Gliori tells a sweet and comforting tale of animals being tucked in at night, even in the scariest weather. The bold watercolor and ink illustrations of animals in their habitats give much for children and adults to look at together, and complement the rhyming text quite nicely. My favorite part about Stormy Weather is the detail in the illustrations—it is clear that the grown-up Fox is reading Stormy Weather to the baby fox: it’s really a nice touch and adds a fun preview and reflection of the previous pages. So if you’re looking for a new bedtime book, or one to comfort during our changeable weather, check out Stormy Weather.
