SuitabookThe awesome book of tornadoes and other storms
Kate Petty
- Reading
- Browse the visual features together first, then pause after a storm fact to distinguish surprising detail from explanation. Invite the child to explain one labelled graphic in their own words.
- Themes
- Understanding extreme weather: The book presents facts about several powerful or unusual weather phenomena, alongside labelled graphics and current information. Its stated purpose is to build science knowledge and vocabulary through factual presentation.
- Wonder through surprising facts: Examples include rain involving frogs or fish, hail compared with a tennis ball, and storms moving boats considerable distances. The book appears to use surprising examples to engage readers while presenting information and true-or-false quizzes.
- Worth knowing
- Storms are presented as violent and capable of moving boats, producing very large hail or unusual rainfall.
