Storms

Solid informational book on storms. Excellent full-page and smaller photos throughout. Good example of a book written around photography.

This is a very good informational book about storms, where they occur, and the damage they cause. Depending on what grade I am teaching this could be a great book to show my students. The text gradually gets longer and longer but still has a lot of great images that relate to the text. I can use this book to inform students on what storms are and how they happen. Non-fiction.
