Great Book To Ignite A Child's Interest In Science David Gurgel I purchased this book for the daughter (third grader) of a friend. The young girl has shown a nice interest in summer science projects and computing. Computing goes nicely with the science of weather forecasting, so I thought this nicely illustrated account of an actual big storm that swept across much of the U.S. in 1982 would be good summer reading.The reading level was posted as ages 4-8 but I would say 7-8, although the ample illustrations make it a book that ages 4-6 would enjoy with an adult reader..

The cold front extended from Mexico to Montana, Idaho. Fascinating and beautiful My 9 year old son had a nonfiction book report to do, and I found this book at our library. After he read it alone, we read it again together to make sure he understood the various explanations of how storms form and travel (especially since he had to grasp enough to be able to put the information into his own words).

Both of us learned a lot from this book--especially since we a
