Everybody talks about the weather, and now Franklyn M. Branley and True Kelley have done something about it. They've teamed up to bring young readers this lively collection of facts and folklore, scientific experiments and dramatic weather events.
Here's an explanation of why we have pink or green snow; what different kinds of clouds tell us about upcoming weather; how cities make their own climate. There are instructions on how to measure the size of raindrops or the speed of the wind, accounts of record-setting storms, and reports of unusual things that have fallen from the sky–frogs, for example, and even a human hailstone.
If you've ever wondered how many flakes there are in a snowstorm, or where's the rainiest place on earth, or whether lightning ever strikes twice, this is the book for you. It's an irresistible grab bag of information about everyone's favorite topic–the weather.
