About the Book
There is a growing interest among parents and educators to help children stay connected to the natural world by acquainting them with the wonderful adventures and discoveries that await them right outside their door. This book is an excellent choice for getting our children to look up at the sky and take note of all that happens as the weather shifts and changes.
Just as time holds a deep fascination for children, so too does the weather. Why is the sky blue? Why does it rain? What is thunder? How does an electrical storm work? These and many other commonly asked questions are addressed in Weather. The main topics under discussion are: predicting the weather, meteorology, the atmosphere, seasons, climates, storms, tornadoes, hurricanes, wind fronts, low pressure areas, anticyclones and clouds.
No matter how urban and high tech our lives become, our days will always be colored by the weather, and as we have seen so dramatically and shockingly over the years, by its extremes.
