Great Book 2008-11-02
This was a great book for my 5 year old that has a fascination with tornados. Factual, and safety focussed, but not too scary. We'd picked a couple of other books about tornados but found most of them had 1 or 2 pages on tornados and the rest on other types of weather events. I'd definately recommend this book for someone who has a child who is interested in them and likes to be prepared!


Great illustrated book 2008-02-22
I bought this for my 3 1/2 year old because he is fascinated with tornadoes. The illustrations were great and the descriptions were basic enough that he could understand them. He was able to follow along and look at the pictures as well as ask questions about them. Though not as indepth as some of the other tornado books I have reviewed, it's still a very nice book. It also gives great information on what to do if a tornado strikes.


It does a thorough job 2005-04-04
I got this book from the library this spring to explain tornadoes to my 4-year-old son. It covered everything it needed to in one small and attractive book. The pages are not too long that he was not able to sit through it, and the illustrations are attractive and provoking. First it explains what a tornado is, where they occur, how they occur, when, and finally what to do if you encounter one. It does touch on the damage that a tornado causes, including speaking briefly about deaths. But I thought it was done in a straightforward manner and did not dwell on the topic or sensationalize it. I definitely think kids from the age of 4 and up could handle all the information in this book.


This book might blow you away... 2000-04-10
...with it's ability to explain this twist of nature at a level young children can understand. I was most impressed with the fact that not only does it describe the scientific aspects of tornado formation in simple terms, it also discusses tornado safety by giving kids several examples of where they might be when a tornado hits and the best place to take cover for each situation. While the publisher lists ages 4-8 as the targeted reading level, I found with our library groups at school that our 9-11 year olds were very interested in it as well. If you have younger children and live in an area where tornadoes are a real threat, I highly recommend using this book to introduce tornado safety.
