Full Description
Make teaching the water cycle fun for little children with this curriculum-aligned picture book from the Na Weatherbies Irish-language series. This cast of memorable characters make it easy to remember key concepts about the world around us and the need to take good care of our planet. The game of "What Am I?" will get little imaginations going and can inspire real-life games as kids look to the sky.
"Tá spórt agus spraoi ag Seán Scamall inniu, ag súgradh thíos sa pháirc.
Ag déanamh cruthanna dá chairde uilig, agus iad ina suí ag amharc.
Ach tagann na Truailleáin dhána agus fliuchann Fearghal Fearthainn iad le huisce.
Ach soilsionn Gabhán Grian go geal chun na Truailleáin a thriomú níos gaiste.
Ní thuigeann na Truailleáin timthriall an uisce, nó cá mbíonn an fhearthainn go deo.
Ach insíonn Fearghal faoi thuras an uisce chun gach rud a choinneáil breá beo."
This book is also available in English as Colin Cloud is Making Shapes. Pair the books for parallel language learning or shared reading in mixed-language groups.
Language, music and learning

Learning is easier when music is involved! Kids can sing along with accompanying song Amhrán Timthriall an Uisce on streaming platforms.
