Book Overview

In this poetic exploration of longitude and weather, with bright and detailed paintings of seventeen different places, Marilyn Singer and Fran? Lessac show us what's happening from the poles to the equator--all on the same day in March.

This beautiful and accessible picture book explores how on the same day that it's icy cold in the Artic, it's foggy in Louisiana, sunny in Barbados, and blowing wild winds called willy-willies in Austrailia...

"A meteorological trip around the globe, pointing out the drastically different weather conditions that can occur in various places, all on the same day." (Publishers Weekly)

"Classes engaged in units on weather or world geography will find this book most interesting. Others will enjoy the repetition, the detailed illustrations, and the tiny taste of faraway places. A useful and engaging addition." (School Library Journal)

Easy read, great explainations

This book really helped my kids understand that not everyplace in the world was having the same weather, seasons, etc. that we were.

Good but could have been great.

By Thriftbooks.com User, October 31, 2005

This is a good book to cover geographical effects of seasons with young children but could have been much better had the author chosen a day in winter/summer rather than spring/fall. Also, some of the slang to specific regions (eg. willy-willies in Australian section) should have been defined. Overall though, it was a useful education book and the kids enjoyed the perky text and lively illustrations.

Amazing for the classroom

By Thriftbooks.com User, October 6, 2005

As teacher education student, I have been on the lookout for quality children's literature. On the Same Day in March is one of the best books I have found for integrating different subjects. Lessons in Language Arts, Science, and Social Studies nearly write themselves as Singer uses a rich vocabulary to describe different types of weather, agriculture, geography and cultures all over the world! Although the book by itself...
