Summary
Details

Discover here how ice can grow into myriad beautiful forms while greatly influencing our weather and environment.

This 56 page book, richly illustrated with diagrams and photographs, takes you on journeys to visit many forms of ice, telling their stories. Perhaps you have heard of glaciers and icebergs, but have you visited the inside of a thunderstorm or a snowstorm? And have you ever seen needle ice, cat ice, hoar frost, or many other distinctive forms of ice? Let this book be your tour guide.

The authors, including a cloud-ice physicist who also co-wrote the popular The Story of Snow, clearly explain how these examples of ice relate to weather, chemistry, and physics.

Each page combines accurate science with real-world observations, helping young readers understand how ice affects us and our Earth.

The book includes fun facts and a parent/teacher guide that make learning about ice even more engaging. Regardless of where you live or how old you are, this book will teach you something new about the natural world around you.

Perfect for:

- A gift to give a curious kid of age 6 and up

- Classroom teachers seeking a fun way to teach kids about the physical sciences
