In rhythmic prose and pictures, this beginning science book describes many kinds of winds, including hurricanes and tornadoes, the trade winds, jet streams, and others. It explains very simply where they come from and what causes them, from a breeze that turns a child's pinwheel to the mile-high giant whirlwind. Both the words and the richly varied moods of the illustrations effectively convey the many ways of the busy winds as they blow all over the earth.
