Tornado

Great little book! Uses dogs mannerisms appropriately, nice drama and twist. Just a nice book and proud to have it in my collection of books on dogs. Now if my kids would just give me some grandchildren so I have someone to read it to...

This is a great chapter book for readers ages 9-12. Students who are beginning to read chapter books should definitely be aware of this book. The author does a great job of teaching the reader many life lessons, while using a lovable dog as the main character in the stories that are told. Due to the short length of the book, this is a great book for teachers to read aloud to their students.

I read this book out loud to my kids last night. (8 and 6) It was so fun! It was especially fun because you have to read it in a southern accent. You can't help it.
My kids loved it. I wouldn't be surprised f they asked me to read it again soon. And I wouldn't mind it one bit.

This is a great chapter book for intermediate readers, ages 9-12. Students who are beginning to read chapter books should definitely be aware of this book. The author does a great job of teaching the reader many life lessons, while using a lovable animal (dog) as the main character in the stories that are told.

Gr. 3^-5. When a tornado is sighted, a boy's family rushes to the storm cellar. Anxious about the father, who's still in the cornfield, they listen to the storm overhead and to the stories related by their farmhand, Pete, about Tornado, the dog he knew and loved as a boy. Framed by the progress of the current twister, the five interior chapters are Tornado tales. The first concerns a storm that blew the dog and his doghouse into Pete's life; another tells of Tornado's dealings with a cat; yet another relates the dog's ability to do a card trick. One full-page, shaded pencil drawing appears in each chapter. The episodes are fairly short and the print large. The handsome illustrations by Doron Ben-Ami give the volume a more distinguished, show more less juvenile look than the typical chapter book and convey the story's drama, warmth, and occasional humor. Parents and teachers will find this an excellent book to read aloud, and dog lovers of any age will find it irresistible show less
