<p>One of the things Bill Evans enjoys the most is talking to young people about weather. Middle-schoolers in particular, Evans says, are deeply interested in the natural world and in weather.</p> <p><i>It's Raining Fish and Spiders</i>covers everything, from tornadoes and hurricanes to lightning and the different kinds of snowflakes. Evans addresses weather myths and facts, from "Can it really rain fish?" to "Will opening a window save my house during a tornado?"</p> <p>Evans also tells his most exciting personal weather stories: flying with the Hurricane Hunters, riding pell-mell through Tornado Alley with storm chasers, and visiting the coldest place on Earth. The book includes simple weather experiments that can be performed at home without expensive equipment.</p> <p>Extensively researched, fact-filled, and packed with charts, tables, illustrations, and amazing photographs,<i>It's Raining Fish and Spiders</i>is an entertaining and educational addition to the library of anyone interested in weather, science, and the natural world.</p>
