£20.00

Have you ever watched a cloud being born? Clouds come in all manner of shapes and sizes. From low-lying stratus to high-flying cirrus via sun dogs and tornados, this beautifully illustrated guide reveals the facts, secrets and stories of all the major cloud types, and how they change the weather around them. We learn their fancy Latin names, explore the parts of the sky where they like to hang out, watch their amazing light shows - and even visit them on other planets, where they are made of acid (among other things). 'Cloudspotting for Beginners' will inspire curious minds with a lifelong sense of meteorological wonder.
