The Man Who Named the Clouds
This is a detailed account of a man who named the clouds and developed the basic concept for the different classifications. I thought it was fascinating that there were different naming conventions that competed, but that his eventually won out. I also thought it was neat that Mr. Howard had an entirely unrelated career and that watching the weather was merely a hobby.
The narrative is rather detailed and we had to read this book in parts. The interspersed weather observations tracking the weather over the span of a school year is interesting, but somewhat detracts from the flow of the book. The illustrations are very good and we loved the inclusion of Mr. Howard's own paintings. Overall, this is an interesting and educational story. We enjoyed reading it together.
