戴帽子的貓帶你環遊地球,
真實而深刻的觀察17種奇怪的天氣現象,
包括水龍捲、火龍捲、球狀閃電、莢狀雲、海嘯雲、紅色精靈、雪甜甜圈…等,
這些雖然罕見卻確實存在的各種奇觀。
例如,在海邊如果遇到巨大雲層,看起來像海嘯,是不是會嚇一大跳!?
海嘯雲是由於冷熱空氣劇烈氣流交互作用形成,
外觀看起來像海嘯,但實際上與海嘯無關也無害,
遇到時可以欣賞它奇特的美麗。
對自然科學或是天氣現象覺得好奇的大小讀者,
若是搭配真實照片或親自到天文館、科教館一遊,會更能感受大自然的奧秘。
An introduction to oddball weather events—with the Cat in the Hat as your guide!
With a little help from Thing One and Thing Two, the Cat in the Hat travels the planet—and beyond—to introduce beginning readers to 17 strange but true weather events, among them waterspouts, dust devils, ball lightning, snow donuts, fire whirls, red sprites, sundogs, ice tsunamis, clouds shaped like UFOs and cinnamon rolls, diamond rain, metallic snow, and a storm so wide three Earths could fit INSIDE it!
Perfect for nurturing a love of science and reading in a young child, this is a great choice for fans of the hit PBS show The Cat in the Hat Knows a Lot About That!
