From School Library Journal:
Kindergarten-Grade 3 Neither a fantasy nor a beginning science concept book, Blue Out of Season is a combination of the two. In rhyming iambic lines, Penn explains seasonal precipitation through creatures called "flukes" which are in charge of each season's weather. The thin story line involves a girl who finds a beautiful snowflake in the spring. The flake, whose name is Parden, tries to remain cold until it can go back to its winter cloud, while the spring, summer and fall flukes explain their forms of precipitation. Eventually the blue winter fluke finds his way back to pick up the lost snowflake. The lines are not written in stanza divisions, so young readers may not even recognize the form and rhyme. The mixture of scientific and invented words may be confusing to those wanting to understand the workings of nature. Illustrations are soft, pastel drawings suitable to the fantasy, if vaguely reminiscent of the illustrations in the "Fraggle Rock" (Holt) books. Children will find a science book on weather more satisfying. Yvonne A. Frey, Peoria Pub . Lib . , Ill.

Book Description Ewing, C. S. (illustrator). First Edition, First Printing. Fine in glazed pictorial hardboards. Red endpapers. Unpaginated. No dustjacket, as issued. An excellent copy: clean, tight, square, and bright. All tips are sharp. No reading wear and no previous ownership markings. SIGNED, dated (5/12/86), and inscribed by the author to the original owner with 'A very warm wish, for sunny days always' on the dedication page. A 'Blue Out of Season' bookmark is laid in. Lavishly illustrated by C. S. Ewing. ".Mandi sat in the middle of the field and lifted her fact to the sky. 'I wonder how clouds can move like that?' she asked as a cloud swept by. Of course what Mandi didn't know about that very cloud, was while in search of Winter it had gotten lost somehow. Deep inside the stratifluff, all snug in thermal suits, were lost and tired, muddled, befuddled, weather-weary flukes. Whindon, the Winter fluke in charge of flurries, flakes and snow, stood at the edge of his chilly cloud and frowned at the field below. 'The trees and plants and weeds are green,' the Winter fluke declared. 'I think our cloud is off its course. I think it's Spring down there.'." Purchase with confidence: all books, gradings, and descriptions are rendered the care of a genuine bibliophile. Money back guarantee. Thanks for your interest in Nooks Of Books. SIGNED by the Author.
