Wild Weather

Liz Gogerly

Weather is awesome and exciting - it's part of our everyday lives but what is it?

This funkily illustrated title explores all types of weather with four children Anjali Lulu Mason and Noah. Their teacher Mr Sangar explains that weather is about what's happening in the atmosphere. And there are six major things going on up there that are constantly changing and making our weather. Mason's dad explains the water cycle to them. 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.

Get Busy activity suggestions encourage children to be actively engaged.

There are also full-page step-by-step activities for how to make a cloud burst or a tornado in a jar.
