Preparing for a Flood / Preparandonos para Una Inundación

Staying safe is important during a natural disaster. This book will help children stay safe during a flood and prepare for the possible aftermath. Reading this book and staying well-prepared can provide comfort to children before, during, and after this destructive force. Mantenerse seguro es importante durante un desastre natural. Este libro ayudará a los niños a mantenerse seguros durante una inundación y a prepararse para las posibles consecuencias. Leer este libro y mantenerse bien preparado puede brindar consuelo a los niños antes, durante y después de esta fuerza destructiva.

Gr 1-3–Each volume of this series focuses on a natural disaster and the characteristics of each, how to prepare, staying safe, and the recovery process after the storm. Repetition of phrases will help children retain what they read: For example, in Preparing for a Blizzard, each section of text ends with the same phrase, “Brrr, it’s a blizzard! / Brrr ¡Es una tormenta de nieve!” Text and pictures are large, making this an ideal series for the earliest readers. The authors emphasize how each storm clears and that the sun (or even a rainbow) appears when the disaster passes. VERDICT This is a fun-to-read, well-translated series that will introduce basic disaster preparedness for early readers while providing comfort to those who might fear storms.”--School Library Journal, November 1, 2019
