Introduce your little genius to the essential first words related to all things weather!

Chris Ferrie is back with a new book!

You know who he is, the guy who writes science books for cool kids who are into awesome things like weather and the weird and wonderful words to describe everything to do with it! He writes books for baby geniuses who are in full sponge-mode and ready to absorb all the sciency goodness on offer… and the adults in their lives who will probably learn something, too… 

Collected here, you’ll find a range of words, some easy, some hard, some fun to say aloud in silly voices. All informative!

You’ll find easier words like gust, snow, wind sock, radar, and flood.

Harder words like meteorologist, prevailing winds, aerosol droplets, weathering, climatology, and thermometer.

Weirder, lesser heard words like haloclasty, hygrometer, anemometer, pyranometer, disdrometer, ceilometer (basically a lot of “ometers”). 

It’s targeted at ages 0-3, but is fun for the whole family, even if you don’t have any kids in the target group and are just a massively proud weather nerd! 

And what’s not to love about those adorable illustrations?
