This review is from: Tornado (Wild Weather (2nd Edition)) (Paperback)

This is a great little book for young minds. My 3 1/2 year old is suddenly fascinated with tornadoes and this book describes them very well. The author definitely explains things in child's terms and has a glossary in the back for larger terms used. THe pictures were great, too! I would recommend this to anyone especially young children. There are 7 other titles in the series also. Great price as well.
