A hurricane is a massive, dangerous storm. Its clouds carry trillions of gallons of water that can dump a year's worth of rain in a single day. Learn how the most massive, destructive storm on Earth forms with this inventive new series! Text and illustrations encourage a child's curiosity by providing real meteorological facts while using the look and rhythm of a picture book to keep them engaged. School Library Journal, STARRED REVIEW Howling wind rips away roofs and topples trees.
Rising water floods streets,
and pounding waves slam sandy beaches. This isn't just any seaside squall. It's a ... HURRICANE! A hurricane isn't a surprise. It's a storm that calls ahead and lets you know it's coming. By the time a full-blown hurricane is ripping off roofs and flooding streets, scientists are on a first-name basis with it. They know its history and can trace its path across the ocean. Before It Was a Hurricane starts at the peak of the action-the chaos and power of a hurricane at full strength-before stepping backward through time. Follow its four-thousand-mile journey from a hot desert breeze to the most destructive storm on Earth. Includes fold-out pages to see HUGE images of a hurricane in action!
