Great Book

This is a great book for teaching elementary students about the weather. The text is complimented by the inviting illustrations. It is a delightful book!

A great book for budding scientists

This is another great book in the Let's Read and Find Out Science series. Younger children (like my son who was age 4 when we first began with this book) and older children (who are reading on their own) will be delighted and educated with this book. Whimsical illustrations demonstrate complex scientific information in a very approachable manner. In this book children will learn overarching concepts of meteorolgy and actual scientific terminology in a progressive manner. Children will learn about: 1. Fronts (Cold and Warm) and their affect on weather. 2. How air pressure is determined and what happens in Low Pressure vs. High Pressure. They learn about barometers. 3. Wind speed and direction, including names of instruments (wind vane and anemometer). The colorful illustrations and simple diagrams reinforce the infomration contained in the book and help children understand the basic concepts of a weather formation. Diagrams include: 1. Fronts & Front Formations 2. Water Vapor 3. Weather Maps 4. High & Low Pressure Systems This book is an excellent addition to your science library. Perfect for budding scientists...or to generate a budding scientist by feeding their minds with sound teaching about the world around us rather than empty stories.
