Can It Rain Cats and Dogs? Questions and Answers About Weather
Grade 2-4-A series of questions about weather and astronomy that children will find intriguing. How and why the weather changes; why there are different clouds; and the driest, wettest, coldest, and hottest places on Earth are typical of the topics covered in Rain. Stars includes how stars are formed; why Mars is red; theories on the formation of the universe; and the life of our sun, moon, galaxies, and planets. The illustrations in Rain are clear and bright but somewhat static, while those in Stars are dramatic. Although the books are designed for browsing, good indexing makes the information easily accessible for basic reports.Kathryn Kosiorek, Cuyahoga County Public Library, Brooklyn, OHCopyright 2000 Reed Business Information, Inc.
