What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
None. The book takes a purely secular, scientific approach to weather. While extreme weather can sometimes be scary, the tone here is focused on curiosity and the 'cool' factor rather than disaster or tragedy.
Ideal Reader
An 8-year-old 'fact-collector' who thrives on trivia and loves to stump adults with 'Did you know?' questions. It is also great for reluctant readers who prefer short, punchy segments of text over long narratives.
