Book Overview

The day is hot and muggy, but cool weather is moving in. All at once, there's a thunderous rumble that sounds like an approaching freight train. The sky darkens and the wind picks up.

Customer Reviews

Great for older kids

I bought this for my 3 1/2 year old future storm chaser. It has too many words for his attention span but is great for older kids. My little one did like looking at the pictures though. The pictures were very nice and the author takes the time to include how to pronounce some of the words, like mesocyclone, as well as define them. He also includes a glossary and fascinating facts section at the end. I find it to be a very comprehensive book for young weather enthusiasts.
