Review: Natural Disasters

Natural Disasters... they happen all the time.   Wild weather, wild water, wild temperature extremes and more.   Do you want to help your children understand them?
Here's a book that will help: The Ultimate Interactive Guide to Natural Disasters.

What you get:

What Did I Discover:

• Clearly presented information
• Simple drawings to help explain systems such as water and weather cycles
• 21 chapters
• Coil binding so it lays flat
• Maps and diagrams
• Tables
• Cut outs
• Excellent explanation of the global impact
  
• Introductory sections for each new disaster
  

Intriguing Factoids to Whet Your Curiousity

• Did you know that sometimes when lightening hits sandy ground it can turn solid?
• Storms are named so,we know which major storm is being talked about as there can be more than one happening at once
• Can you imagine a heat so hot it can melt roads?
• There is a lake under the glaciers called Lake Vostok.   Scientists investigate.
• Sandstorms change the colour of the sky.
• Cenotes, in Mexico.

What do I think?
This book would be excellent to let children read alone, or use as a spine for a larger study of natural disasters around the world.   Little tidbits just begged to be studied more, for instance, I want to teach my lad more about the Cenotes in Mexico.  This book is a great introduction to how the world works in regards to natural disasters.
