Why do hurricanes happen?
What is a tornado? Why does it snow?
You can find the answers to all of these questions in this book and many more.

This book is incredibly fun. All kinds of subjects like continental drift, the water cycle, and the Big Bang theory are covered within this interactive book. Pull tabs, and pop-ups adorn this colorful and creative book. I would actively use this book to introduce a new lesson to a class.

Really nice book, lovely embossed cover, large format with excellent illustrations, some covering both pages. Good subject; Alfred Russel Wallace should get more attention as he is just as interesting as Charles Darwin. However, the editors at Candlewick were napping, and they don't know what some words mean. In particular, the "relentless" efforts to put out the fire aboard Wallace's ship were anything but; maybe the author and editors confused "relentless" with "futile"? Oh well.
