Gr 3-6–Spreads in these updates of the 2004 editions address questions children may have about natural disasters and discuss causes, characteristics, and relevant science, including progress in predicting the events. Case studies illustrate the human response. Numerous color photographs and sidebars are interwoven into the well-organized and absorbing narratives. Many of the images show the impact of these natural events on people's lives. The books conclude with a list of the most famous disasters of the past, including Haiti's 2010 earthquake.Caroline Geck, Newark Public Schools, NJ
