| Publisher Description: Intended for ages 6-10, this is an exciting book that introduces kids to the kinds of storms that take place each year. Large, full-colour images of storms such as hurricanes, tornadoes, thunderstorms, and blizzards accompany clear explanations of how different storms develop and the kinds of effects these storms have on the lives of people and animals.
