"The appealing story and wide array of weather facts make this a breath of fresh air." — Kirkus Reviews
It's a spring morning, and Miss Mingo and her class are ready to hike up High Hill to visit the weather station. Groundhog predicts the weather will be perfect. But as the animals climb, the temperature does, too, and Panda seeks shade while Hippo starts sweating red (it's normal!). From hail and winds to rain and a sudden chill, everyone from Ant to Alligator is learning about crazy atmospheric changes. Sprinkled with facts about weather and animal habits, this charming class trip will bring sunny smiles.

      A class field trip up High Hill to a weather observatory at the top offers ample opportunities for Harper to share intriguing tidbits of information about animals and weather in this third picture book about Miss Mingo the flamingo and her students. A new student, Groundhog, joins the class and quietly predicts perfect weather, but heat, humidity, hail, and frozen fog prove him wrong—or so it seems. Along the way, readers learn about the various animals’ habits and reactions to the weather (hippos secrete moisturizing “blood sweat” when they are hot and dry, and narwhals may use their tusks to gauge temperature and barometric pressure). Packed with fascinating details and realistic classmate interactions, it’s a treat for animal lovers. Ages 4–7.
