About the Author:
Kathleen Kudlinksi the award-winning author of more than forty books for children, including the Boy, Were We Wrong series. She lives in Connecticut and Vermont.
From School Library Journal:
Gr 2–4—Following the pattern established in earlier titles, Kudlinski uses the refrain "Boy were we wrong..." to contrast weather misconceptions throughout history with modern-day understandings. She explores the meaning of terms such as meteorology and hurricane, which originated from ancient beliefs and misguided theories, and she explains that some myths and legends contained elements of truth. Accessible information is presented concisely, and the clever, humorous tone of the text complements Serra's lively, engaging cartoon illustrations. There is plenty here to inspire even the youngest readers to seek out more material about the subject. The author encourages kids to become involved with tackling global warming and to see themselves as potential scientists. VERDICT A valuable resource for report writing and pleasure reading alike.—Gloria Koster, West School, New Canaan, CT
