“Manny likes to choose his own outfits, but sometimes they do not match what’s happening outside. Mami demonstrates the weather and temperature on her phone’s weather app, but Manny wants to know what clothes work best by himself…This bilingual Spanish/English board book is intended to help young children learn about weather patterns, temperatures, how to check for changes, and appropriate attire…This vibrantly illustrated bilingual title is a great introduction to weather and temperature concepts and would be a good addition to preschool STEAM curricula and library collections.”
