Droughts (Let’s-Read-and-Find-Out Science series)

This nonfiction picture book examines droughts through questions about unusually sunny, warm, dry weather and the need for water on Earth. It considers how people know a drought is happening, whether droughts affect only people, and how scientists track rainfall. The book also addresses what causes drought and ways to conserve water. Illustrations and experiment activities accompany the explanation of this weather and climate topic.
