Everyone talks about the weather, but what does it all mean? In clear, accessible language, Gail Gibbons introduces many common terms -- like moisture, air pressure, and temperature -- and their definitions. Simple, kid-friendly text explains the origins of fog, clouds, frost, thunderstorms, snow, fronts, hurricanes, reinforcing the explanations with clear, well-labeled drawings and diagrams. Newly revised, this edition has been vetted by an expert from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association. Best of all, the book features a fun list of weird weather facts!
