This is an amazing book that gives a lot of information about hurricanes! It starts off with a table of contents and goes into information about how hurricanes form, the many different parts of hurricanes, and how hurricanes have affected people over the span of many years. This book offers real images from many years ago in the early 80's to recent hurricanes with more detailed pictures. This book also gives information on what to do if you ever come in contact with a hurricane and the best way to stay safe in a hurricane.
I would definitely use this book in my classroom! It is a great book that teaches students how severe hurricanes can be as well as how hurricanes form and the properties of a hurricane. I said the appropriate grade range is 2nd-5th because there is a lot of information in the books that might make it difficult for younger students to comprehend, but they could also look at the informative pictures and get ideas from those. I would use this book during a unit talking about the weather and use it to introduce hurricanes,
