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.Copyright 2002 Reed Business Information， Inc. Card catalog description Surprised to see a snowflake in May， Mandi meets the flukes， who control seasonal weather.
