5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful and engaging with proper science explained well

Absolutely fabulous book. Not dumbed down at all but completely accessible for kids. Manages to effectively communicate the science and is global, rather than focusing purely on a northern hemisphere viewpoint. As a result the concepts make much more sense and we had some really interesting discussions around the seasons in different parts of the world. Beautifully done and hugely engaging. Can’t recommend it highly enough - the whole family have been fascinated by it. Just what a book should be: beautiful and interesting!

Nicely put together by well known weather presenter and her meteorologist husband. Good factual content with the “Judith Twist,” and her personality will help youngsters understand about weather and climate. A hit with my great, great nephews.
