By Sandra Carrod, published by Reed 2007Why is the West Coast so wet? Why is Wellington so windy? Why is Auckland’s weather so changeable?
Here at last is a weather book with all NZ content. A large format book, it is attractively set out and generously illustrated with diagrams and photographs (all NZ). Interesting facts and explanations are accompanied by simple practical activities.
A two-page map of NZ on which the chapters are rearranged according to location follows the contents page. A detailed index completes the package.
This is a great book, which would be enjoyed by all young NZ weather watchers and, has also been shortlisted in the non-fiction section of the New Zealand Post Awards for Children and Young People.

I think it is a good idea to have a book on our NZ weather and I have already obtained it for our school library.
This is a superb book - I bought it for my kids late last year and the two that read have read it cover to cover.
A Very good and informatuive book. There are activities for you to do and i think you can learn alot
I found this book very interesting and informative with great pictures and photographs with a nice layout. It is also easy to understand. I think this book would be suitable for junior and middle school students.
