While preparing for a hurricane, her grandson asked her what wild animals would do during the storm. In addition to illustrating Ready, Set WAIT!, she has also illustrated Mother Osprey: Nursery Rhymes
But what do wild animals do? Do they know when a storm is coming? If so, how do they prepare? This book explains how nine animals sense, react, and prepare for a hurricane. We might huddle in our homes or go inland. Hurricane just the word brings to mind the power of these natural disasters. We board up windows and gather supplies. Humans watch the news and know of impending arrival. Based on research or observations, the brief portraits are explained in simple, poetic language for children of all ages.. Then we wait for the storm to arrive
It contains simple text; colorful pictures; and a raft of data, maps, diagrams, lists of storm prep for humans, and some scientific (and not-so-scientific) observations of animal behavior prior to the arrival of a hurricane.

From humans stockpiling food, water, and batteries to reef fish packing in some extra calories to butterflies hiding in hollow trees, Zelch's quiet text and McLennan's realistic illustrations offer a glimpse of hurricane readiness in the natural world and our own.
