¡Manny tiene estilo! Pero a veces, el estilo de Manny no hace juego con el tiempo. ¿Podrá Manny aprender a observar tanto la temperatura como el tiempo para seleccionar atuendos a la moda y funcionales?

Amplía lo aprendido más allá de la historia con material de apoyo elaborado por expertos, que incluye información adicional sobre la temperatura y el tiempo y actividades STEAM divertidas.

STEAMWORKS presenta a niños de diversos trasfondos y habilidades que utilizan el pensamiento científico-matemático para solucionar problemas cotidianos y responder a preguntas que les interesan.

Manny has style! But sometimes, Manny’s style does not match the weather. Can Manny learn to observe both the temperature and the weather to build outfits with fashion and function in mind?

Perfect for parents and caregivers of independent toddlers exploring the world of dressing themselves.

Extend the learning beyond the story with expertly crafted back matter, including additional information about temperature and weather and fun STEAM activities.

STEAMWORKS features children of all backgrounds and abilities using scientific and mathematical thinking to solve everyday problems and answer questions that matter to them. Playful stories and extension activities ignite excitement for science, technology, engineering, arts, and math (STEAM) and empower children as thinkers, problem solvers, and innovators.
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. Manny uses visual clues to discern the weather outside, like checking for rain or snow. He also feels the temperature to adjust his outfits. Manny finally decides to mix and match so his outfits cover weather, temperature, and other aspects like rain or sunshine. 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. Lacika’s text is clear and age appropriate. Muñoz ­Estrada’s illustrations use vibrant colors and specific details to denote the different weather patterns, temperatures, and textures in Manny’s outfits. The text and illustrations are well matched. It is also available in separate English and Spanish editions. ­Educators can use the included tips and guided questions in STEAM curriculum. VERDICT 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.
