Great story, with great illustrations. This book held the attention of my 8yo active son, and he enjoyed reading it. The illustrations make you feel as if you are actually touching the dog. What made it even better was that we own a black lab, identical to the one drawn in the book, and our lab came from the local pound. Hit home!

This book is easy to read but it is heart warming. It shows you how much he loved Tornado. It shows how broken hearted when his dog was taken away from him. You fell so badly for him. How could any one do that to him?

The book is about a family who has to go into a storm cellar because a twister is coming. Pete tells the family about his dog he uses to own named, Tornado. His dog was great. He could do card tricks and did what he was told. One day he brings Tornado to town with his dad. They are gone about an hour and a family comes and sees Tornado in the truck and starts yelling, "Look, it is Buddy!"So he has to give Tornado up to the family.

Will they get Tornado back? Will they ever get out of the storm celler? Just read the book to find out. I think this book is great for childern ages 7-10 or if you just want to read a short book.

Have you read tornado?If you havn't I will tell you about.It is about a guy telling the people that live with him about when he was a kid and he found a dog an called him tornado Tornado because they found him after a tornado passed by. Close to the end when his dad and him road to the town to buy food he left tornado in back of the truck then when he came back he saw a girl hugging Tornado she said " oh I missed you so much". Then he starts to cry and tornado had to go with his real owner. I won't tell you if he gets Tornado back or not. Well my opinion is that this is a great book . So read this book.

I use this book every year with my third grade class when studying a unit on tornados. They do a storyboard summarizing each chapter. They laugh all through the book. The LOVE it! I am glad I found it on Amazon because it is very difficult to locate for purchase.

There is a tornado that causes a farm family to retreat to their storm cellar. To keep the children from thinking about the danger, their farm helper tells them stories about a tornado and a very special dog from his childhood.

This was a great little book for my 2nd grade son to read on his own. The story was cute (about a wonderful dog) and exciting (a tornado), things he's interested in very much. This kept his attention and encouraged him to read on and finish it. I highly recommend this to any so-so reader, it will capture their imagination and it's easy reading. One part is kind of sad, but if they keep reading, it has a happy ending!

Tornado is about a family in a tornado. One of the men is telling a story about when he was a boy and was in a tornado. When the tornado was over, he had found a dog, and he named him Tornado. To find out what else happens, you'll have to read it yourself. The one thing I didn't like was that it is so short.

HI! I am seven years old. I liked this book a lot. My favorite character was Tornado. I liked when he did the cool card trick.

this book was a gift for a 3rd grader and as I thumbed through it I thought it will become a "favorite" in her collection. Great animal story!

My 8 year old daughter had to read this as part of the 3rd grade summer reading list. She enjoyed. It was a much better book than some they are required to read.

Tornado is the story of a boy and his dog with a few twists. Farmhand Pete corrals the family into the root celler when a tornado appears in the distance. He takes their mind off the storm by telling stories of a dog that dropped down into his life during another storm-a dog he named Tornado.
