Description: Readers explore the wonders of weather through a variety of components -- science experiments, puzzles, stories, poems, music, myths and legends, and arts and crafts ideas. The author explains weather zones and climate zones, how we measure temperature using Fahrenheit and Celsius scales, concepts of insulation and ventilation, why the seasons change, and the development of weather forecasting. Interesting panels ("Did You Know..". "Weather Words", and "Try This!") break up the information on each spread. Fascinating facts and activities are presented throughout the text: make a cloud mobile, read a Viking legend about Thor, the god of thunder, learn about rainbows and frost, the El Nino effect, and how global warming is changing the world's weather.
