Bookroo's summary

Gus the rhino and Sully the mouse start each day by checking the weather, but their experiences couldn't be more different. For Gus, the sun is too hot, while Sully finds it perfect for the beach. Clouds spark Gus's imagination, but to Sully, they're just clouds. Wind is great for kite-flying, yet it threatens to whisk Sully away. As they navigate rain, snow, and sleet, their unique perspectives turn each forecast into an adventure. Join Gus and Sully as they explore the world around them, discovering that the same weather can lead to very different adventures.

From the publisher

What’s the weather like today? Let’s see! Award-winning author-illustrator Steve Light, a preschool teacher himself, draws on a morning routine beloved by many young children. When Gus the rhino and Sully the mouse check out the weather each morning, they see and feel the same thing, but they experience it a different way. Bright sun is too hot for Gus and perfect for beach-loving Sully. Clouds inspire Gus’s imagination (“I see a bunny!”) but they just look like clouds to Sully. The wind is perfect for kite-flying for one, but threatens to blow someone small away. Whether rain or snow or sleet, Gus and Sully are on the spot, reporting back in their unique way. Wielding ink and watercolor, Steve Light ventures into an appealing new art style with a simple, funny board book ideal for children just beginning to explore the wide world around them.
