In typically detailed Gibbons style, this introduction to tornadoes illustrates what they are, how they're formed, where they generally occur, and the damage they can cause. The EF (Enhanced Fujita) Tornado Scale, used to classify the severity of the storms, is explained and shown through examples. The comprehensible text and illustrations provide adequate information without overwhelming young readers. Websites.
