The fourth book in the Weatherbies series is the perfect inspiration for little horticulturists. In this tale of teamwork and caring for the environment, Fearghal Fearthainn, Gábhan Grian, and Gearóid Gaoth team up with the other Weatherbies to provide the ideal conditions for their newly-planted seeds to grow into their favourite healthy fruit and vegetables. But then Na Truailleáin turn up, wreaking havoc…“Tá Fearghal Fearthainn ar bis agus réidh do lá lán spraoi.Ag spraeáil uisce isteach san aer, tugann sé deoch do na plandaí agus é ag rith.Bíonn na Weatherbies ag obair agus ag foghlaim le chéile, ag plandáil leo go sona sásta.Cuireann siad cuid mhór sraitheanna de thorthaí agus glasraí blasta.Ach tagann na Truailleáin dhána, agus scaoileann siad ola thart.Ba mhaith le hOilibhéar cuidiú, ach déanann sé prácás ceart.An mbeidh na Weatherbies ábalta gach rud a dhéanamh réidh?An mbeidh torthaí agus glasraí blasta acu don lón ag deireadh an lae?”This book is also available in English as Colin Cloud is Making Shapes.
