Review Quotes

Of all the volumes in the Weather Wise series, this one ought to have been the most difficult to illustrate. Instead, it becomes a standout; no, you can't see wind per se, but the vivid photos of sheets rippling, grass blowing, trees bent over time, and snow misting from mountain ice caps bring home the different velocities and ramifications of wind. . . .This title is a fine example of how the simplest of concepts can be creatively mined to provoke reactions in young readers.-- "Booklist"

Top 10 Series Nonfiction: 2015. The titles in this series (Rain, Snow, Wind, etc.) may seem familiar, but to the youngest level of readers, they are eye-openers, pairing canny explanations of hard-to-describe concepts with lovely and vivid photographs perfectly chosen to provoke delighted reactions.-- "Booklist"
