At first glace, this book in the Exploring the Elements series appears to be a traditional picture book in which a multi-cultural cast of children at the beach, in the country, and in the city tell why they like the wind and ask questions related to their experiences. But there's a nice surprise: each right-hand page folds out to reveal the answers to the child's question along with several spot illustrations that help demonstrate the wind's impact ... Lafrance's acrylic paintings offer attractive scenes of children at play as well as good visual explanations. A user-friendly introduction to the science behind everyday occurrences. Booklist"

In an exciting lift-the-flap book, young readers explore the wind, from why the wind blows to how it shapes the clouds in the sky.
