Description
About the book. The Weather Book explores the weather we encounter daily and the larger patterns that shape our climate. Lonely Planet Kids compiles explanations, facts, and stories about everything from seasons to extreme weather events. This 184-page hardcover book offers a broad introduction to meteorology for curious readers.
Content. The content follows five main themes: daily weather, seasons and climate, extreme and unusual weather, using the weather, and a changing climate. Readers will learn about the processes behind different weather types and how meteorologists work with forecasting. Pollution, human activity, and climate change are placed within the same context. The book also covers weather records and stories about rare phenomena.
Who is this book suitable for? Suitable for children who ask why the weather changes and want to learn more about the natural forces around them. The material can be linked to something you see outside the window or a picture from a different climate. This is the English edition from 2022. We recommend reading together with an adult to compare concepts, illustrations, and personal observations of weather and seasons.
Read together and discover more. Read together with an adult who can assist with English words, and allow the child to highlight what sparks their interest. Choose one spread or theme at a time, allowing space for questions, pauses, and personal associations. Images and text can be used in various ways; you may begin by describing what you see in Norwegian. Revisit a favorite theme during the next reading session to see if you notice new details. Connect the reading to something the child has experienced, seen, or heard about, so new words gain a familiar context. A short reading session can extend into exploring a map or another book if a place or question prompts further investigation. Alternate between reading aloud and conversation, letting the child’s interest determine how long you spend on each topic. It is perfectly fine to browse freely between themes and return to the text when you desire more background.
