What unleashes the fury of a hurricane? How are hailstones formed? Is that cloud going to rain on our parade? The answers to these questions and many more can be found in this latest book in the How It Works series. Weather phenomena from tornadoes to rainbows are explained in this fun, informative guide to the climate that surrounds us. Bright illustrations liken weather to easy-to-understand images and show readers what causes some days to be bright, and others nasty. Complete with a full-color, tear-out wall poster, this book is the perfect way to introduce young readers to natural occurences they encounter every day.
