Great Book

This is a great book for teaching elementary students about the weather. The text is complimented by the inviting illustrations. It is a delightful book!

Satisfly your child's curiosity.

Primary grade scientists will study all about the wind and how it's made when hot and cold air interact, and how the wind can be harnessed to help us and how it can wear down even the strongest rocks by erosion. Simple directions for making a weather vane are also included. (Younger children will require assistance.) Young readers will adore this book.
