Let's Read-and-Find-Out Science Book ®
Wind can tickle your face or whistle through an open window. Did you know that some wind travels faster than a car? Air is always moving. We can’t see air move, though we can watch it push clouds across the sky, or shake the leaves of a tree. From gentle breezes to powerful hurricanes, find out about the wind-what causes it, how it can be used to help us, and how it affects the weather. Learn how to make your own weather vane, and find out, in simple terms and with playful illustrations, just what makes the wind that blows all around us.
