A Kid's Review

This review is from: El Nino! And La Nina (Weather Channel) (Paperback)

I liked this book because I am very interested in hurricanes. This book has a lot of great facts on a dangerous weather pattern that happens on the west coast called El Nino . I also liked this book because it has a lot of interviews from kids that were in this hurricane and had to leave their homes.
This book is about a weather pattern called El Nino that occurs every 3-4 years.
Scientists do not know much about this hurricane. It starts wild fires, droughts and a tremendous amount of rain.
This is a great book for people to read because it has so many facts and voices from kids who have been in this hurricane. If you are involved in hurricanes then I would definitely recommend this book.
