Review :
"Hurricanes are huge, strong ocean storms. They can bring big waves, strong wind, and heavy rain to shore." Told in simple language, this book explains hurricanes on a beginning reader's level. It follows the definition of a hurricane with an explanation about how it is formed, how meteorologists follow it (using that term), and how to stay safe and prepared for a hurricane. A section in the front matter explains the use of the difficult vocabulary unique to the study of hurricanes and the possible need for assisting the early reader. This is a good book to introduce the concept of these often violent storms, especially at the beginning of hurricane season. With the recent, strong hurricane in Galveston, Texas, and the devastating New Orleans hurricane having been in the news, it's a way to show what is happening from the science point of view. Knowledge is power, and is a way to explain a frightening storm. While limited in word count for this level, I'd like to have seen something about evacuation as a means for staying safe and possibly something about the chances of hurricanes hitting cities that might allay the fears of those children in the hurricane zones. This book is a great start for those kids interested in science and is one in a series of six books about natural disasters occurring on our earth. http: //simplyscience.wordpress.com/2010/06/02/hurricanes/-- "Simply Science Blog" This is a perfect series to use with young children when teaching weather units. The large books feature one or two simply written sentences on one side of the page with a full page photograph opposite. While the facts are few and basic, the interest that these books will elicit will be great! A glossary will help equip the students with ways to describe what they see. The word count, according to the back page, will give the teacher an idea about the advisability of using these books as early readers. Early elementary students who disdain the picture book for the "made-up" story will love these "real" stories. The large photographs will give the children images to complement the information. Each book also gives the child hints on how to be safe if they should encounter the weather phenomena they see. Bibliography. Websites. Index. Recommended.-- "Library Media Connection"
