Can It Really Rain Frogs? Paperback - 1997 - 1st Edition

by Christian; Biracree

Throughout history there have been reports of showers of frogs, clams, even spiders! The weather has played plenty of tricks over time, and who better than weatherman Spencer Christian to unravel the mysteries behind such bizarre weather occurrences as colored rain, singing caves, auroras, and even weather events which have changed the course of history? 25 photos. 50 illustrations. 10 maps.


From the rear cover

What makes a twister twist? Where does acid rain come from? Is it true that snow is sometimes green? Or even red? Can it really rain cats and dogs . . . and frogs?

Join popular ABC-TV weather forecaster Spencer Christian as he explores the amazing--and sometimes unpredictable--world of weather. Look inside a flash of lightning. Mix up your own instant rainbow. Find out how caves "sing" and if a tornado can actually pluck the feathers off a chicken.

It's an action-packed tour of the world's strangest weather events--with lots of easy-to-do activities that let you experience the secrets of nature up close. Plus dozens of fascinating sidebars, fun facts, and illustrations bring the world's wonders to vivid life. What's the weather? It's awesome!

For children ages 8 to 12

Also available in Spencer Christian's World of Wonders series: Shake, Rattle, and Roll: The World's Most Amazing Earthquakes, Volcanoes, and Other Forces
