Read and find out about droughts in this colorfully illustrated
nonfiction picture book.
The earth--and everything on it--needs water. But lately, it's been
unusually sunny, warm, and dry. The weather anchor announces that your
area is experiencing a drought! Where do droughts happen? How do we know
that we are in a drought? Why is rainfall important? Do droughts just
affect people? Can scientists keep track of rainfall? Read and find out!
This book is full of activities, like how to measure rainfall, how to
visualize how much of the world's water is freshwater, and how to create
a cloud in a jar. It's also full of graphic features perfect for visual
learners, like a diagram of the water cycle, and rich vocabulary bolded
throughout the text, with a glossary.
