K-3Did You Know? series.
Illustrated by
Pete Oswald.
These numerous weather-based bites of information appear in a catchy Q-and-A format that is only occasionally distorted to achieve the gee-whiz factor (e.g., the South Pole's rainfall height but not its volume equals "2 tall glasses of water"). Colorful cartoon animals aptly illustrate the information with a light touch. Unfortunately, there's an incorrect transposition of North and South Poles. "Fun Facts" are appended.
