You Wouldn't Want to Live Without Extreme Weather (You Wouldn't Want to Live Without…) by Roger Canavan, Paperback | Indigo Chapters

Our planet would be a very different place if it did not have extremes of weather. This series takes readers (Ages 8-12) on a historical journey, examining how people coped in the past and how they developed ingenious ways to make life safer and less unpleasant. Each book features full-color cartoon-style illustrations and hilarious speech bubbles to heighten interest, making the series attractive even to reluctant readers. It's a nuisance when it rains on a picnic. It's a tragedy when a tornado destroys a neighborhood. Some plants can grow only in hot, dry conditions; others require cold temperatures at certain times of year. And if the Arctic and Antarctic were less cold, melting ice would raise sea levels around the world and cause widespread flooding. | You Wouldn't Want to Live Without Extreme Weather (You Wouldn't Want to Live Without…) by Roger Canavan, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
