Review # 1 was written on 2018-10-10 00:00:00 Keith Grizzle It's not clear whom the intended audience. It is told more in story form than as a reference book, but it is not told as accessibly as a story, which feels like it would test the patience of young listeners. There are some great photos, but giving examples that would probably work better as diagrams.

Review # 2 was written on 2016-02-27 00:00:00 Sharon Walter While reading the book "Weather", I learned a lot of fun facts. First, The USA has more tornadoes than any other country in the world, averaging around 1200 a year. Second, the Earth experiences millions of lightning storms every year. These two first facts are very shocking because 1,200 tornadoes is a lot for 1 country and over 1 million lightning storms a year is incredibly insane. Third, the heaviest hailstone ever recorded weighed 1 kg and it landed in Gopalganj District, Bangladesh on April 14, 1986. That is very shocking because 1 kg for a hailstone is too much. Fourth, the highest temperature ever recorded in Antarctica is 14.6 °C, recorded on January 5, 1974. Finally, the highest snowfall ever recorded in a one year period was 31.1 meters in Mount Rainier, Washington State. Therefore, these are a couple facts I learned from this book. Another name that would be used as a title for this book would be The Climate. This would be a perfect name for this book because the book is all about the weather and the name that is used the most to talk about the weather is climate. That is why it would be a perfect name for the book "Wether". The author wrote this book because he wants to familiarize people about the Weather and how the weather brings natural disasters like hurricanes and tornadoes. He also wrote this book. because almost nobody knows this topic perfectly and not a lot of people know how natural disasters happen. This is an acrostic poem, that I decided to write. W-arm Extremely cold sometimes A- always snowing in the winter T- he cause of natural disasters like tornadoes H- urricanes are caused by it E- xtremely foggy sometimes R- otation between climates Therefore, these are three answers from the three questions. I do not recommend this book to everyone. I recommend this book to people who like learning about new things and science lovers. Age wise, I recommend this book middle schoolers, because it wouldn't interest lower schoolers, and high schoolers would have probably learned about this topic in their science classes. My least favorite part of this book is that instead of saying the facts briefly, the book goes in the extreme description and that makes the book kind of boring. On the other hand, my favorite part of the book was when I learned that it's the climate that causes hurricanes and tornadoes. Thus, this books has its pros and cons.
