[Tessa Vanden broeck · Rating 3 out of 5]

Leuk boek met interessante weetjes over het klimaat en het weer in het algemeen.

[Jenny · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book is designed like a textbook, with general topics such as “seasons” and “weather disasters,” and two-page spreads of more specific topics within the broad categories. Coming from someone who personally is not very interested in earth science, I think this book is a masterpiece and makes weather the most exciting thing in the world! The book has a LOT of photos, “Top Facts,” and “It’s Amazing!” boxes containing obscure facts on every two-page spread. The book relates weather to our impressions of weather versus what is actually scientifically happening, and makes the knowledge relevant in an entertaining way. Reading it almost feels like reading a creative, “National Geographic World” type of magazine.
