Kids Learn about Killer Waves,
By
This review is from: Tsunamis: Killer Waves (Natural Disasters) (Library Binding)
What a helpful book this is! You may immediately think that December 26, 2004 made it hopelessly out of date, but NO!
Even the youngest readers will know that "killer waves" are a serious business. It is good for children to have such accessible fonts & graphics for understanding this hard-to-grapple subject. Grandparents will be as grateful as the kids for the large "EasyRead" print . . . and the pronunciation aids in the text & glossary suit me much better than those the NEA provides to newspapers. No doubt publishers will be scrambling to print updates of books about TSUNAMIS but students will have been investigating many websites long before any books about the 2004 Indian Ocean disaster get into print. (The U.S. gov's FEMA website, however, is woefully inadequate). Reviewer mcHAIKU says "Thank goodness kids respond so swiftly & generously to disaster victims. Michele Drohan's book should help all of us agitate for better warning systems." |
