Weather Dude: A Musical Guide to the Atmosphere

WEATHER DUDE is a cassette/book combination providing an entertaining way for elementary school-aged children to learn about the weather. In a fully-produced recording, television's singing weatherman Nick Walker makes complicated concepts simple, singing ten fun original songs, each one an entertaining mini-lesson in atmospheric science. In musical styles ranging from light rock to rap to ballads, Walker guides children through cloud formations, rain, snow, wind, thunderstorms, the seasons, the water cycle, & weather forecasting. Each song has a corresponding chapter in the 46-page illustrated book providing more detail about each weather phenomenon. WEATHER DUDE also features weather-related experiments, some fascinating weather facts, & more than fifty suggestions for activities that children can try at home & teachers can use in class.
