Brief Summary: This
informational book talks about all different types of storms and precipitation. Explanations for the occurrence of different
types of weather are provided. It
includes interesting pictures especially of lightening, tornadoes, and hurricanes.
Evaluation Statement: This book, with its pictures, easy to
understand explanations, and cute jokes will definitely keep children
interested. The book also explains what
certain higher weather vocab words mean.
This would be a great book for those children who are afraid of lightning
and thunder as a way to educate them about the phenomenon and make them feel
more comfortable about it.
Funny you should say that about it being a good book for children afraid of lightening. I bought this one for exactly that reason for my son. If kids know what lightening is, then it can be a lot less scary.
