Earth's weather and natural disasters are important topics in the early elementary curriculum, but they're also dazzling, high-interest subjects that are sure to wow readers of all ages. Text about storms, blizzards, hurricanes, tornadoes, and more is accompanied by amazing photographs of weather phenomena. Where is the rainiest place on Earth? Which hurricane earned the nickname 'Frankenstorm'? How hot is a bolt of lightning?.

The vivid, full-color photographs in this book show how animals trick the eye by hiding in plain sight. Some animals can change their skin texture and color, cover themselves up, or even mimic other plants and animals. Readers will meet sharks that hide using light and shadow, and even some fish that use light to trick their food into swimming nearby. The book is packed with information that will delight and inform young science buffs.

Color photographs and simple text present things that everyone needs, as well as things some people want.
