Reviews

[James Vickery · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book is an informational text that gives a vast amount of information on weather and climate. The book gives information on the clouds, the Earth's atmosphere, stormy weather and our changing climate. This would be great to put into a science center in a Grade 1 environment. I believe that educators could use this book to get a better grasp on the concept of weather and climate.

A reference book about weather, pollution, with a lot of experiments and How-to section.
