Pretty good information, basic overview that skims over a lot of issues

This book is very informative and the pictures are cute but show what actually happens as well as helping to explain some interesting facts. One thing I found difficult was the really small font of the Weather Facts.

Documentary disguise as a story book. Not the biggest fan of those, an element is always let down and the balance rarely achieve. In this case the story felt very pale compare to the informative part. If you,re looking for a story pass on this one, if you,re looking for information about cloud and hurricane formation for very little children then you might have a look. But for me, overall, it's not a book I would recommend!

This book didn’t really work. Nate is a cloud that wants to be a hurricane. The author makes Nate out to be a nice friendly fellow who just wants to grow big and strong. However, this book is loaded with all kinds of science facts about hurricanes, which are more depressing, and true life. I think if they had made this book about a kid learning about hurricanes it would have worked better. The author tries to make the bad guy the good guy. And at this age level, it just does not work.
