Overview / 简介: |
| You are lying in bed listening to the soft sound of rain. It has been coming down for hours. Now something is changing. The rain sounds harder and louder, and there is water running down the road, which looks like a small river. What is happening? You are hearing and seeing the start of a flood. Read and find out about the different kinds of floods, how they start, and how to stay safe. With colorful illustrations from Amy Schimler-Safford and engaging text from Katharine Kenah, Flood Warning is a fascinating look into a dangerous natural disaster. |
Foreign Customer Review / 国外客户评价: |
| Gr 2–5—Accessible text explains how rain can cause overflow in rivers and lakes and, as a result, flood basements and houses. The text exudes a gentle tone; many readers across the country will already be able to identify with these scenes of floodwaters, and those who don't will have seen them on their TV screens. The abstract style of some illustrations complements the discussion of saturated ground, storm surge, flash floods, and flood plains. A few insets add contrasting information, such as how elephants feel a coming tsunami through their feet. Even the annual floods of the Nile are mentioned, with visual reference to ancient Egyptian art—an indication of the wide range of content included in this slim introduction. A flood plan and a list of emergency supplies are great additions. VERDICT A general purchase for communities interested in flood awareness.—Dorcas Hand, Annunciation Orthodox School, Houston, TX --This text refers to the Hardcover edition. |
