How the Weather Works: A Hands-On Guide to Our Changing Climate

18 pp. | Candlewick/Templar | February, 2011 | Trade ISBN 978-0-7636-5262-3 $17.99
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Beverley Young. Facts about weather including precipitation, wind, hurricanes, and climate are conveyed over nine double-page spreads. Each layout contains interactive pop-ups, pull tabs, and flaps along with text boxes and spot illustrations. It's an engaging (if busy) presentation, but the information is uneven; for example, some complex terminology is included without sufficient explanation about its relation to meteorological concepts.
