Review
This book would be appealing to a child aged 3 to 8. It explains the science behind tornadoes from how they are formed to what to do when you may experience one. The author who is a meteorologist compares a tornado to baking a cake. There are 4 ingredients necessary for a tornado to form and if any of these is missing it will not happen. The same is true in baking a cake, if any ingredient is missing it will not really be a cake. Safety is explained in a way that will be educational without being frightening to a young child. A cake recipe is included.
Overall Book Score: very good
