I feel very fortunate to have this book in my possession. If you have seen recent news reports and then pick up your book you will see that Walter Dudley and the and author Anthony D. Frederick were right on the money about tsunamis. The information in this book is invaluable. Walter Dudley suggests in the book that anyone living in a coastal area should educate themselves about tsunamis. He also suggests that tourist who visit areas that are prone to tsunami's should have a tsunami plan in place.

The book may be short in length, but the information is excellent. The book sheds light on which areas of the world are prone to tsunami's, the causes of tsunamis and accounts of past tsunami's. It is written for younger readers but adults will also find this book informative. The book also includes pictures and diagrams. One picture that sticks out in my head is a picture of a poster in Hawaii where they warn about the warning signs of a tsunami. This book is so wonderful, you will really learn everything you want to know about tsunami's in a short easy to read book.
