Audience: This book would be good found students in grades 4-6 and for any gender.
Appeal: This book is appealing because it explains the real facts about tornadoes and how harmful they are. It also uses vivid pictures.
Application: I would use this for a science lesson about weather. I would use it in the Spring since that is tornado season.

With vibrant photos and fold-out pages, this book has plenty enough information for school reports and presents it in an engaging, kid-friendly way. More on the blog: http://www.abbythelibrarian.com/2010/...
Talk about foldouts! Every other page! Don't think this would last long in a library but very well researched and informative.
