review 1: For children with an interest in meteorology and weather, this guide is a must-see. Holding up the high standards of DK publishing, this book is rich with pictures, illustrations, and information all about weather and the destructive forces that occasionally come along with it. Covering topics ranging from early forecasting and weather folklore to thunderstorms, drought, wind, tornados, hurricanes, and much more - there is much to be read and explored. Information is presented in easily digestable paragraphs with plenty of photos so children can read from cover to cover or jump around as they please. There is also a glossary for difficult terms in the back, as well as a timeline of weather disasters as a reference. A great choice for children who are curious about the scie... morence of weather and all that comes with it.
review 2: Although the name of the book is Hurricanes and Tornadoes, it really gives a lot more than that. They talk about lots of weather tools used in the olden days and how greek people told time and temperature. They also told a little bit about the planets. The author gave plenty of information to complete my assignment, and I still learned extra. I would recommend this book to someone who wants to know about Hurricanes and Tornadoes ;)) less
