- Synopsis
- This best-selling introduction to the most powerful storms in the world explains how and where hurricanes form. Readers will also learn how hurricanes cause damage, how they are named, and how hurricane strength is assessed from Category 1 to Category 5. The book uses major hurricanes through history as examples--from Galveston in 1900 to Katrina in 2005--and explains how to prepare for a hurricane. A fascinating science book for younger kids interested in understanding weather, storms and natural disasters, Hurricanes! provides straight-forward explanations to the complex facts behind these massive storms--without being too scary. One of the world's most trusted children's nonfiction author-illustrators, Gail Gibbons' signature combination of bold, clear art and detailed, accessible descriptions creates an invaluable resource for young readers seeking to learn more about the world.
