Lightning strikes the earth more than a hundred times every second. It's bright and dramatic, but it happens so fast that we rarely get a chance to see it.

With clear, simple text and stunning full-color photographs, readers will learn all about lightning in this informative picture book.
Perfect for young scientists’ school reports, this book supports the Common Core State Standards.

Very nice resource for my weather unit!
Q2021 book. -
This book tells alot about lightning and where it comes from. I thought it was okay but wouldn't like to read it again. If your a person who loves lightning then i highly recommend this book!! It tells where lighting comes from, ALL about lightning storms, how strong they can get, anything you want to know about lightning is in this book.
If you like storms, hurricanes, tornadoes, anything that has lightning in it you will love this book. It is so informative about everything you can think of it's in here. It was I think a little boring up first but then i actually started getting into the book and I thought it was a little better.
Like I said, if you like lightning then you will LOVE this book. It is the one for you. But if you don't really like anything to do with it then i wouldn't think this is the right book for you. -
Lighting is very powerful and very misunderstood. There is plenty of researching going on to try to figure out why lighting happens and its powers. This book provides great information along with outstanding photos and a child would be mesmerized by them wanting to know more. I have loved weather ever since I was a little kid. Now lighting doesn't scare me but I know it could to some children, so maybe learning about it would help a child to not fear it but respect that it is out of our control.

The photographs are great. Great information on lightning experiments. Overall, not the most informative book on lightning.

This would be a great book to add in a science class to help teach lightning. Also I would recommend to a student who is interested in weather.
