Der britische Zoologe STEVE PARKER kennt sich aus mit den naturwissenschaftlichen Wundern unserer Welt. Wenn es um die Wissenschaft geht, ist seine Formel einfach: „Halte dich an die beiden grossen ‚I‘ – Information und Imagination.” Er ist Co-Autor und Herausgeber von über 300 Sachbüchern.

Having grown up in Scotland and the north of England, she has experienced a lot of weather, which stood her in good stead for this book.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

Grown-ups are always talking about the weather - this book helps children understand the weather and why it changes from time to time. How is fog formed? What causes a rainbow? Why do thunder and lightning always come as a pair? Curious children can often ask questions that might even be difficult for adults to answer, but Whatever the Weather knows the facts. Bursting with colorful illustrations, examples, and anecdotes, this book explains complex processes in a snackable way. Following two friendly characters and their little dog from page to page, young readers can learn about how temperature forecasting works, how some animals have an innate ability to predict the weather, and the effects of global warming. Come rain or shine, Whatever the Weather sees past the seasons and explains the world of weather in all its wonder.
