Hurricanes! (New & Updated Edition)

Description:

What in the world is a hurricane? In this age of extreme weather, this newly updated edition of Gail Gibbons' informative introduction to hurricanes, with safety tips included, answers that question.

Imagine a force that can toss boats around like toys, wash away bridges, create waves as high as eighteen feet, and change the shape of a shoreline. With fierce winds and torrential rains, hurricanes can do all of these things.

In this newly revised edition, vetted by weather experts, Gail Gibbons introduces readers to the concepts of hurricane formation, classification, weather preparedness, and the ever-evolving technology that helps us try to predict the behavior of these powerful storms.

Extensive updates include refined definitions for hurricane-related vocabulary, updated information about the wind speeds that define hurricane categories, information on emergency preparedness, and more. As these weather disturbances become more frequent and more powerful,
Hurricanes is the perfect introduction for children to this important and timely topic.

With her signature clear, colorful paintings and well-labeled diagrams, Gail Gibbons' nonfiction titles have been called "staples of any collection" (
Kirkus Reviews) and offer clear, accessible introductions to complex topics for young readers beginning to explore the world.

Bought this for my nephew's 6th birthday, as he is very interested by natural disasters and extreme weather. The illustrations are phenomenal. The writing is very educational and specific. Since I had such a hard time finding books age appropriate for a 6 year old, I was very happy with how this checked off all of the boxes!

We bought this for our Granddaughter who is 6 going on 7 because she was involved in a hurricane and had a lot of questions. Her mother didn't quite know where to start. You don't want to scare a kid by giving them too much but you want to give them enough information and technical information for them to understand what happened to their area, This book is excellent in giving just the right information. I would recommend it up to the age of about 10 and then you will need more technical information.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book with lots of information on hurricanes

S.G. · July 13, 2015

This is a great book that kids of varying ages really enjoy. I read this book to a group of fourth graders and they really enjoyed learning about the categories of hurricanes, as well as the preparations and different hurricanes throughout history. I also read this book to second graders and they enjoyed learning about the hurricanes and seeing all of the details in the illustrations. This is a great informative book that children from all ages can enjoy.

4.0 out of 5 stars A little wordy.
