Book Reviews of Tornadoes
Book Review: Much Better Tornado Books Out There!
Summary: 2 Stars
So dissapointed! My 4-year old loves tornadoes and we have gone through every tornado book our library has. I decided it was time to buy him a couple to keep and went with this since it had decent reviews. Are you kidding me? Ugh. The page set-up makes it difficult to read or even teach from (no paragraph brakes, spacing, etc), and there are more pictures of damage done by tornados and people looking at old computer screens than of actual tornados. If you have a kid who'd like to actually learn something about tornadoes may I recommend:
Tornado Alert (Let's-Read-and-Find-Out Science 2)
It has drawings instead of actual photos, but a much better book.
Summary of Tornadoes
With winds that can reach speeds of three hundred miles an hour and funnel clouds that can measure a mile in diameter, tornadoes leave enormous damage in their wake.Now award-winning author Seymour Simon examines these twisting columns of air and destruction.With the clear, concise style he is noted for, Simon explains how tornadoes are formed, why and when they are most likely to occur, how scientists classify and track them -- and what to do if one touches down. Spectacular full-color photographs show this powerful phenomenon in action.
