Have you ever felt the wind tickle your face or heard it whistle through your window? Did you know that some wind travels faster than a car?

Air is always moving. We can't see air moving, though we can watch it push clouds across the sky, or shake the leaves of a tree. We call moving air the wind. In this enlarged edition, find out about the wind - what causes it, how it can be used to help us, and how it affects the weather.

Arthur Dorros shows you how to make your own weather vane, and in simple terms, with playful illustrations, he explains just what makes the wind that blows all around us.

By A Customer

This review is from: Feel the Wind (Let's Read and Find Out Science Books) (Library Binding)

"Feel the Wind" is a great tool for teaching children about the wind and the weather. Arthur Dorros defines wind and its uses in a way that children can easily understand. The book includes the causes of wind, ways wind is used by man and nature, and easy directions for making a weather vane. This book is a must for any young meterorologist.

5.0 out of 5 stars Satisfly your child's curiosity., October 1, 2007

By	J. Arena (Williamsburg, VA) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)

Primary grade scientists will study all about the wind and how it's made when hot and cold air interact, and how the wind can be harnessed to help us and how it can wear down even the strongest rocks by erosion.

Simple directions for making a weather vane are also included. (Younger children will require assistance.)

Young readers will adore this book.
