Especially designed, written, and illustrated for young readers
In this era of global warming and its effects on extraordinary weather phenomenon ranging from tornadoes to hurricanes, and daily weather phenomena from clouds to snow, children are understandably curious (and sometimes worried) about the world of weather. Now The Creative Company has published 'Science of the Skies', a six volume series by Bill McAuliffe which is especially designed, written, and illustrated for young readers identifying and explaining extreme weather events and the ways in which precipitation, temperatures, and winds affect the weather -- and affect their lives. Each of these 48-page, superbly illustrated, and thoroughly 'kid friendly' titles is enhanced with a table of contents, a bibliography, an index, and a glossary. Ideal for family, school, and community library children's books collections, 'Science of the Skies' is comprised of Forecasting; Clouds; Hurricanes; Snow; Thunderstorms; and Tornadoes. Although each of these outstanding titles are available individually, school and community libraries would be well advised to acquire the entire series for their young students and patrons. ...

Product Description
The Angry Thunderstorm rolls into a child's world in the middle of the night awakening her with a fright. Witnessing his booming display, the child trembles with fear. The Angry Thunderstorm acknowledges that he sounds ill-tempered because it takes such a powerful display to do his job. The wind. The thunder. The flashes of light. All of these seem scary. His intent is often misunderstood and his presence is seldom welcomed. But as he explains the reason behind his gruff display, the child is reassured that he does these things for a very good reason. ... Read more

A Rainy Day
I received this book on a day when there was a thunderstorm outside.My school is in Nashville, TN, and our students live in an area that had just gone through a devastating flood.The students were fragile and scared from their whole ordeal of being evacuated from their homes and losing much of their belongings.This book helped them see the storm as something that would pass and that it calmed them.It truly was a comfort.I read it to a first grade classroom and they loved it.We talked about the author, and they want to meet her. We hope to be able to set up a visit in the fall. They related to the story and loved the illustrations.Thanks for writing and sharing a great story.We will share it for many years to come.I recommend it as a great story and a source of comfort to children.

Absolutely LOVED the illustrations
Loved this one. This will make a great bedtime story and help make something rather scary not so frightening to my little one. Absolutely LOVED the illustrations especially of the thunderstorm creeping about and the huge eyes of the scared child, teddy bear and other frightened creatures. Scary, but funny and soothing. A great writing/illustrating team. Sure to be a favorite in this house.

Cute!
This was very cute and, if you have children, would be a nice way to ease fears of thunderstorms.

The illustrations were nice accompaniments to the story. The ones of the thunderstorm were especially cute.

This would be a nice educational tool for children who are afraid of storms, or just fun reading for others who aren't. The story format is especially good for reading aloud.

Awesome Book!
Hi Carol! thank you so much for sending my daughter this lovely book, and to have it signed makes it so much more special.My three year old loves it! She is not afraid of storms anymore, because she learned from your bookthat it helps the flowers grow. I will bring this copy with me to school in September and share with the kindergarten class. I love the way you crafted your words in rhyme. The illustrations are sure to attract childrens attention with vivid illustrations. I will your book to my blog also. ciao

Delightful Story
As an educator I read this story thinking of all the possibilities of how this book could be used as a "mentor text". Besides being a fun story about the angry thunderstorm in the night the other possibilities it can easily lend itself to are: teaching personification, visualization (the vocabulary is rich), science facts about tunderstorms (characteristics, benefits), and what makes us afraid. Loved the book. ... Read more

Product Description
Staying out of thunderstorms takes resolve and savvy. This book explains why, when, and where these weather hazards are likely to develop and gives practical advice on flying clear of them. Storms defy precise definition, so it is up to individual pilots to use what they know to make good decisions that lead to a safe flight. The dynamics of thunderstorms, wind shear, and other related phenomena are described. There is also a guide for a systematic pre-takeoff weather briefing in which all available weather data are correlated to forecast storm location and severity. ... Read more

Product Description
This is a AIR FORCE INST OF TECH WRIGHT-PATTERSON AFB OH report procured by the Pentagon and made available for public release. It has been reproduced in the best form available to the Pentagon. It is not spiral-bound, but rather assembled with Velobinding in a soft, white linen cover. The Storming Media report number is A831913. The abstract provided by the Pentagon follows: A cloud-to-ground lightning summary was developed for a 139x185 kilometer area centered at Whiteman Air Force Base. Spatial and temporal patterns, and first stroke peak currents were analyzed from 1989-1995. Stability indices were examined for thunderstorm and non-thunderstorm periods on a seasonal basis. Regression equations developed using these variables distinguished thunderstorm periods from non-thunderstorm periods. Decision models were presented that combined responses from the equations with other meteorological considerations. A preferred track for springtime thunderstorms was located between the base and the Ozark Mountains. No preferred track was found during the other seasons. Although diurnal distributions of lightning flashes showed that thunderstorms were possible at any time, late afternoon and nocturnal maxima were observed during the spring and summer. The nocturnal maximum disappeared during the fall. First flash times for thunderstorm events were spread out for the spring and fall. A summertime peak between 1800-2100 UTC (1200-1 500 CST) was detected. Last flash times tended to be random, but preferences were observed for early evening and early morning. The percentage of positive flashes nearly doubled in 1994 and 1995 compared to previous years. An increase was observed in the number of positive flashes with peak currents below 60 kA. An increase of negative flashes with peak currents below 20 kA was seen, but contamination by intracloud flashes could not be disregarded. ... Read more
