About the Book

What happens when winter brings blizzards? Bright illustrations and lyrical text help kids understand the characteristics of this chilling weather phenomenon, including whiteouts, strong winds, snowdrifts, and wind chills. A perfect read-aloud for young science lovers and budding meteorologists.

Review :
Is it safer to stay in the car if caught in a blizzard or to step outside and look for help? Is the size of a snowflake affected by the temperature? Many fascinating facts about blizzards are found in this fun little science book. (Answers, respectively: stay in the car and yes, the closer the temperature is to 32 degress Fahrenheit, the larger the flake.) The illustrations are vibrant and explanatory. The first few pages give safety facts--including the origin of the word blizzard, which is derived from the German word "blitzartig" which is defined as "like lightning"--and a glossary. Additional resources from the library or Internet are also included. Part of the "Amazing Science" series, this would be easily utilized in an early elementary natural sceince/meterological unit. Highly recommended.-- "Children's Literature (CLCD)" In these additions to the Amazing Science series, author Rick Thomas explains weather to young elementary students in an inviting and informative manner. Each brightly illustrated book of approximately 20 pages explains a weather phenomenon and its causes. Written in a way that will entice children to want to learn more, this book helps them begin their journey on the road to solving many meteorological mysteries! Whether you live in a cold climate or not, this book on blizzards and cold weather is fascinating. Great descriptions of severe winter storms are complemented by sensible safety information. A website is included that will help students link to useful sites about blizzards and winter weather.-- "NSTA Recommends"
