This book was about thunderstorms. Was a great book of facts would be great for kids whether for independent read or class read it also has some activities at the end of the book that would be fun and great to do!

I think this is a great book with a lot of info on snow storms. It talkes about things from the race to the south pole to blizzards around the world. It talks about dangorus frost bite and Napoleon's retreat. because of the cold weather some of his soldiers frose to death. Or got such extreame frost bite they could not carry on. Or the great avlancanche of 1910 In the cascade mountains. It forced a pasenger train carring passingers and mail to stop for days. As you can see This book has all this and much,much more. If you are doing a reporte or just whant some solid facts. This is a great book to read.
