This review is from: Usborne Book of Weather Facts (Usborne Facts & Lists) (Library Binding)

A fantistic book for kids who love trivia, facts and lists. Included are great cartoons and coloured illustrations which make it "kind on the eye".

I first read it 12 years ago and have been back to it many times since.

Definitely give it a read
