Weather Watch New Zealand
By Sandra Carrod, published by Reed 2007
Why 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.

Great book! Attractive, I have had to put it on my MUST BUY list ... not enough to have it in the library ... will need to own it for myself!
I love your blog - relevant and informative with plenty of visuals ... perfect!
I'm really excited to see a book on the weather that is about New Zealand weather, so many resources on this topic are northern- hemisphere based. Super!
it was a really great and educational book. It was easy to follow and was very captivating. It was intresting to find out about the weather of our own country. We recommend this book for intermediate students, as it was good for study and other uses.

This book is timely for us with the Social Studies Dept trying to encourage more students to continue with Geography at senior levels. It was snapped up by the Dept as a resource for the new weather unit they have developed for our junior classes. Topical, relevant and local - great.
this book is very easy to understand and it tells about lots of weather events i didn't know about. This book is number1 for all budding weather presenters.
this book was awesome, it is easy to understand and tells you heaps of stuff you havent heard about.
