Review :
"From the Pull Ahead Books: Forces of Nature series, this little book introduces hurricanes. Written in relatively short sentences and large type, the text presents what hurricanes are, when and where they occur, how people protect themselves and their property during a major storm, and related information, such as the locations of cyclones and typhoons. On nearly every page, color photos show people preparing for hurricanes, storms in progress at sea and on land, and communities damaged by hurricanes. Appended information includes a glossary; short lists of books and Web sites; a chart for the commonly used Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale (showing category number, wind speed, and amount of damage); and a few miscellaneous hurricane facts. A serviceable introduction to hurricanes for younger readers." --Booklist "This new series deals with all types of natural disasters. With full-page pictures and large print text, this is an excellent beginner's book about hurricanes. The book is broken into small chapters, only a page or two each. It also includes a page of more detailed facts about hurricanes, a page of further reading suggestions, and an index. This selection is a good nonfiction book for either reading aloud or beginning readers. Because of the fine research features, novice report writers will find the book easy to use. It could also be used in a lesson about choosing good sources. Recommended." --Library Media Connection "When and where do hurricanes, typhoons, and cyclones form? What can you do in preparation for their landfall? These questions are answered in this volume in the Forces of Nature series. The author takes readers on a journey through storm formation. Beginning with clouds gathering in the warm, moist ocean air, a tropical storm develops and circulates. As strong winds blow, an eye develops in the center of a hurricane. Rain and lightning abound as waves crash along the coast. Storm surge may cause flooding, and the potential for tornadoes exists. Coastal residents board their homes and evacuate along the hurricanes path. High-interest science material is brought to life throughout this series for primary readers. The book's small format is easily managed by younger readers. Colorful, vibrant photographs accentuate the text, and these include a view from space of a hurricane and storm-struck areas ranging from Louisiana to Africa and China. Bold type identifies glossary-defined vocabulary, and the index provides information access by topic. Further reading lists, including text references and websites, are offered for additional concept development." --NSTA
