Weather is awesome and exciting – it’s part of our everyday lives but what is it?

This fun and brightly coloured book explores all types of weather with four children Anjali, Lulu, Mason and Noah. They experience all types of weather, such as rain, snow, sleet and hail and see some fantastic rainbows too. They learn about extreme weather, such as floods, hurricanes and typhoons and find out how to identify different types of clouds and lightning. They discover the different climate zones, learn about jet streams and get serious about climate change and global warming.

Includes fun step-by-step activities for how to make a cloud burst or a tornado in a jar.

Perfect for children aged 7+ teaching science topics such as climate, environments, weather types, cloud formation and water cycles.
