Discovering El Niño: How Fable and Fact Together Help Explain the Weather

32 pp. | Lerner/Millbrook | September, 1999 | Library ISBN 0-7613-1273-0 $$21.90
(3) K-3 Illustrated by Jan Davey Ellis. Though scientists now use computer modeling to predict weather, Seibert shows how basic scientific thinking--careful observation, pattern recognition, sharing information--were practiced for centuries before Western science took hold. Colorful illustrations accompany this well-written text describing the centuries-old awareness of the weather patterns now known as El Niño.
