Reach for this book when your child expresses anxiety about storms or shows a budding interest in how the natural world works. This classic science adventure transforms a potentially frightening weather event into an objective, fascinating study of physics and meteorology. By placing familiar characters in the center of a hurricane, the story provides a controlled environment for children to explore the mechanics of wind, air pressure, and water. As a librarian and psychologist, I find this book particularly helpful for building a sense of agency in children. It validates the power of nature while replacing fear with knowledge and vocabulary. It is ideal for elementary schoolers who enjoy busy, detailed pages and humor, making complex STEM concepts accessible through a mix of primary narrative and supplementary 'report' sidebars. It is a fantastic choice for turning a 'scary storm' day into a day of discovery.
