"A book for young readers about lightning and thunder"--Provided by publisher.

This title provides a basic overview of thunderstorms and how they form.

Lightning occurs when a cloud visibly discharges electricity. We see this as a flash of light, often during a thunderstorm. However, lightning also happens during snowstorms and dust storms and in the dust and gases volcanoes give off when they erupt. In this book, readers learn how lightning forms, why thunder accompanies lightning, and more. Fun fact boxes provide supplemental information to the main text and bright photographs captivate readers.

Storm watchers enjoy the thrill of viewing Nature's pyrotechnics. It's at once engrossing and sometimes quite scary. Young meteorologists will love learning what's going on behind the flashes and booms of storms through the inviting pages of this lively volume. At-level text provides comprehensible explanations while supportive photographs and diagrams help readers remember need-to-know facts.
