Customer Reviews

Excellent attention grabber

I bought this book for my two grandchildren,age 5, who listened intently throughout the story. We had a good follow-up discussion about flooding and the effects of this weather phenomena, which they had never witnessed. I want them to have an increased interest in science, plus aid them in their reading skills and, as a former English teacher, I think this was an effective book. I was also pleased that it featured a female scientist, as my grandchildren are girls.

Weather books kids love

My nieces and nephews were gripped from the start--the story of a flood in Vermont. We don't live in a flood area, but this book got them really interested in the topic. I went out and bought the hurricane and tornado books, which they also loved. (We *do* live in tornado country, so that book was especially relevant.) They now read the books on their own, which is just great, since none of them really like to read.
