Natural Disasters, What and Why. Warning this review contains spoilers. I really love that this book starts out with the definition of natural disaster. The point made that natural disasters are part of a natural process is good. This rightfully implies that natural disasters are not man made. This book introduces 8 different natural disasters. It has great pictures that are on each page with accompanying text describing the natural disaster pictured. I think that this is a great book to introduce first graders to natural disasters.The first natural disaster we are introduced to is a tropical cyclone. They included a good picture to go along with the text. This grabs kids’ attention while you are reading a description of what they are looking at. They move logically to the next natural disaster a hurricane. I like their description of how a hurricane forms. The picture accompanying the text is a picture of a hurricane taken from space. I always like seeing pictures like this, they help me to see just how big some of these storms are. The next 2 pages are dedicated to explaining what an earthquake is. I think all the definitions are very age appropriate, and will give first graders a good idea about some of the damage caused by natural disasters. I really liked the picture they choose of a destroyed road to go along with the description. It shows just how strong an earthquake can be, as evidenced by a broken road. Then moving on from earthquakes we learn about tornadoes. This book has good definitions and pictures that are on every page so kids can see what is being described. This is the point in the book where some pictures are obviously photo shopped. The first tornado picture is legit, the second one I’m not too sure of.
