Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

What makes a hurricane spin? How do they grow stronger--and why do they even exist? Hurricanes gives kids an inside look at these incredible storms, exploring both their danger and their role in balancing Earth's climate. From the birth of a storm to its powerful peak, readers discover what happens inside the eye and eyewall, how meteorologists track hurricane season, and why hurricanes sometimes take unexpected turns. Along the way, kids meet related storm types like subtropical cyclones and learn how hurricanes are Earth's "heat engines." Perfect for young readers, this book pairs scientific explanations with engaging details and a hands-on activity: building a hurricane safety kit. By blending knowledge with preparation, Hurricanes helps kids both understand and respect the science of storms.
