This book faces its readers with questions as it goes along and even allows for activities while reading the book. It is a very science-focused book that teaches the facts about wind interactively and colorfully to the students. The way it asks the questions- you can give your students a space to try and figure out the answer before moving on.

This book has a fun spin on science. Usually books like this are corny and made with stock images. This book incorporates intersting deign elements and factual things that help the reader learn.

Review: I Face the Wind by Vicki Cobb, 2003, is a nonfiction story about science, but told in a fun entertaining way!
Blurb: this is a great example of the genre because while its factual and real information it's a fun story with activities and fun illustrations.
Quote: “How can you weigh air?”

This nonfiction book touches on science for young learners. It answers questions we have about wind and how it works. The illustrations were interesting too. The book flows nicely, one of my favorite this year.

This would be good for maybe first graders and to do an activity before or after the book to further their understanding of science
