When was the last time you got hit in the head by a falling frozen frog? When frogs rain down over communities, people take notice, and these instances are recorded. Raining frogs can help scientists understand storm patterns, trajectories, and velocities. Frogs may not be the only things that get caught up in the water cycle either! Helpful diagrams and full-color photographs accompany intriguing weather factoids. 24 pgs., pb. ~Rebecca
