This volume provides facts about the Earth's weather and climate - from thunderstorms and hurricanes, tornadoes and avalanches to the water cycle. It is part of the "Bright Sparks" series which introduces readers to a wide range of topics from animal camouflage and minibeasts to land and flying machines, the Earth, weather and lots more. The books contain nine spreads, each focusing on a different aspect of the topic covered and each with a true-or-false quiz question.

From Kirkus Reviews:
Call them hurricanes, cyclones, typhoons, or Willy-Willies, these forceful storms dramatically open the latest entry in the SuperSmarts series. Weather is nothing new in children's nonfiction, but by touching on all things wet, windy, and wild, Llewellyn (Some Snakes Spit Poison, p. 876, etc.) explains the high points of wind, rain, fog, sandstorms, twisters, and avalanches in an easy- to-follow, step-by-step layout. Readers can jump in and out of each two-page topical spread (e.g., ``Misty and Murky'' and ``Flash, Bang, Crash''), while attractive anecdotal sidebars delve into the specifics. The colorful design capitalizes on readers' natural fascination with the awesome power of weather phenomena, beginning with the graphic cover illustration that shows a truck, metal barrels, and a tin roof being sucked into a tornado. The book explores global weather patterns and water cycles, from monsoons in India to the dust storms of North Africa. A thoughtful layout makes the information accessible both to an easy-reader audience and Eyewitness series enthusiasts. (Picture book/nonfiction. 7-10) -- Copyright ©1997, Kirkus Associates, LP.
