K-3National Geographic Readers series.
Goin describes storm types (tornadoes, sandstorms, monsoons, hurricanes, etc.) and their effects on humans, animals, and their surroundings. The text effectively uses simple sentence structures to convey basic facts. Excellent color photographs of the profiled storms illustrate the information. "Weather Words" vocabulary and corny weather jokes ("What is a tornado's favorite game? Twister") enliven the volume.
