From raucous stormy seas to a welcomingly vivid rainbow, weather's most exciting moments come to brilliant life in this fantastic new pop-up book. In her hugely successful books Creatures of the Deep and What's in the Egg , as well as her enormously popular series of greeting cards for the Museum of Modern Art, Maike Biederstaedt has established herself as one of the preeminent paper artists working today. Now Biederstaedt takes book engineering to new heights as she immerses readers in five electrifying weather scenarios. As each spread unfolds, a meticulously designed landscape emerges--a freighter balances like a nutshell between high waves in the sea; a tornado takes terrifying aim at a truck trying to outrun it; a rain-spewing storm cloud towers like a skyscraper over a farm house. Nature's delicate beauty emerges in the intricate shapes of a snowflake and in the luminous arc of a rainbow. Each page features an informative description of its weather event and the book closes with sobering commentary on the effects of climate change. A wondrous introduction to weather for budding climatologists, this is also an artistic tour de force that collectors will treasure. Review: Beautiful pop up book for kids 7+ but a fun book no matter what age. - I bought this great weather related pop up book for my 3 year old grandson. I just simplify the words. He’s more interested in the fun pop ups anyway. Review: My sons favorite weather book - My son has loved this book. It is sturdy and interactive. I am also a teacher so when I shared it with my class they were hooked. The pop up pictures are appealing and I can read it as is or shorten it if I want. This is the coolest weather book we own!

Beautiful pop up book for kids 7+ but a fun book no matter what age.
I bought this great weather related pop up book for my 3 year old grandson. I just simplify the words. He’s more interested in the fun pop ups anyway.

pop-ups great but text seems forgotten
They pop ups are very beautiful, if maybe too elaborate - some could've been several smaller features on a page. The text on each page though seems is a badly formatted massive chunk which seems like an afterthought/makes the book seem unfinished or like the text part of the project was just someone lazily copying a chunk from the Internet. Its not particularly presented in a kid-friendly manner.

One of the pages arrived ripped
The book seemed really cool but one of the pages arrived ripped. I had to return it, and did not want to risk getting another version that was ripped.

Very disappointing. Children should not be exploited with propaganda or any type.
A naked example of anthropomorphic fear mongering aimed at children. There is no place for propaganda in children's books. To do is is a form of child abuse.

Muy Original
Colecciono Pop-up's y este es especialmente importante para mi. La temática es sorprendente y la realización de la ingeniería de papel un total acierto. Lo recomiendo.
