A medida que los huracanes y otros desastres naturales se vuelven más comunes, este libro ayudará a los niños a aprender sobre los huracanes y cómo prepararse para estas poderosas tormentas. Leer sobre este fenómeno y hablar sobre este libro con un adulto consolará a los niños mientras planifican y se mantienen seguros antes, durante y después de un huracán.

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
