Grade 5–7—The blue/green/white satellite view of a Katrina-sized hurricane barreling into the U.S. Gulf coast on the cover of this book is an eye-grabber. The two-page chapters each cover one type of weather phenomenon, including torrential rains, freezing storms, hurricanes, and high winds. Formal text is limited to an expository paragraph, with the majority of information appearing in the captions popping up all over the plethora of diagrams, maps, and small illustrations. Extra information boxes appear on almost every other page as well, covering such ground as top weathermen, types of clouds, and lightning. The vaunted "see-through" pages are mylar inserts that add information or provide before-and-after views; for example, an illustration of a hurricane on one page can be overlaid with an image of the same map with the hurricane in a different spot. This seems to have been an afterthought of marketing, with only the one comparing El Niņo with La Niņa providing a real comparison of weather phenomena. Somewhat similar to Caroline Harris and Warren Faidley's attractive Wild Weather (Kingfisher, 2005), which also has see-through pages, a panoramic foldout, and input from storm-chaser Faidley, this book's highly visual, attractive content may entice readers to absorb the data in its busy pictorial pages.—Patricia Manning, formerly at Eastchester Public Library, NY
