Editorial Reviews

This is a perfect series to use with young children when teaching weather units. The large books feature one or two simply written sentences on one side of the page with a full page photograph opposite. While the facts are few and basic, the interest that these books will elicit will be great! A glossary will help equip the students with ways to describe what they see. The word count, according to the back page, will give the teacher an idea about the advisability of using these books as early readers. Early elementary students who disdain the picture book for the “made-up” story will love these “real” stories. The large photographs will give the children images to complement the information. Each book also gives the child hints on how to be safe if they should encounter the weather phenomena they see. Bibliography. Websites. Index. Recommended.

Library Media Connection

This nonfiction level one book is filled with full page photographs that depict the destruction a tsunami can cause. In addition to captivating a reader’s attention, the photographs also help young readers to better understand the text. There are only two or three sentences on each page and the colorful full size photograph is on the accompanying page. The first several chapters explain what a tsunami is and where they happen. The following chapters describe what happens before, during, and after a Tsunamis hits. Each chapter is only four or five sentences long and the print is large and easy to read. Some of the vocabulary may be challenging for beginning readers, but these more difficult words are defined in the glossary section at the back of the book. This highly engaging and informative book introduces young readers to earth science, and its content is directly related to national science standards. It is part of the “Earth in Action” series. 2010
