Gr 1–3—These fun books will captivate young readers. Though some photos are on the fuzzy side, they're generally action-filled and will entice readers, while informative text boxes provide additional material. The books also present some content on how people can stay safe during these frightening weather conditions (for instance, advising going to higher ground during a flood). Exclamatory text and short, concise sentences ("Boom! A thunderstorm begins") make these books accessible but still exciting.
Natural disasters in the form of extreme weather and earthquakes are explained in large print and illustrated with photographs. Beginning readers will learn how these events originate and how they can keep safe during them. The simple texts get the basic information across; depictions are factual (if incomplete) and vivid without over-dramatizing. Four-word picture glossaries are appended. Reading list. Ind. Review covers these It's a Disaster! titles: Flood, Blizzard, Earthquake, Tsunami, Hurricane, and Tornado.
