Description
Meet the Climate Crew. We're a freaky crowd, so watch out!
When the weather gets extreme, it shows off its awesome power by swatting cars around, sweeping away roads, bridges and houses - even making matchsticks out of buildings. Although extreme weather has been around throughout Earth's history, it's becoming more common due to the effects of climate change.
Basher Science Mini: Extreme Weather gives kids the lowdown on one of the most pressing problems that we face: extreme weather. Basher's unique illustrations combine with chatty, first-person text by expert author Tom Jackson to hook even the most reluctant readers and help them to understand the science behind the headlines.
