Be Prepared for Anything: A Guide to Surviving Extreme Weather with National Geographic Kids

Cheryl: This was a gift for a 10 year old boy who loves to watch the weather , possibly a future meteorologist! He really liked the book. The book is good quality, colorful illustrations, hardback.

Amazon Customer: I bought this for my 8 year old son, its a decent book; however my one little quip is the photos. They are either not very good or they are under the writing. Would have been nice for the photos to be better quality, smaller and not under stuff.

Aurelijus: The photos are so-so; the information provided is little, and it is not particularly exciting. We've looked through it together with the child a couple of times, and it's been resting on the shelf since then.

Emma: I got this as a stocking filler for my 4 year old nephew who is obsessed with anything weather at the moment. I think it may be a bit old for him though, entirely my fault so I’m not faulting the book at all. It’s brilliant and really informative! Maybe better for an older child though ☺️

keisha ward: Super informative. My son is 6 and just began loving extreme weather. A lot of info in the book, so you can read and get a general idea about the different types of extreme weather or you can read every line in the book and become a expert. So perfect for everyone. The pictures are great as well. The pages in the book are thicker than normal books.

Heidi Grange: There are few places on earth where extreme weather of one sort or another doesn't impact the way people live and work. It's important to know how to react to these events and even be prepared for them. Kostigen reviews the major weather related disasters that can occur and offers tips on how to prepare and react to them. Hurricanes, tornadoes, sandstorms, hailstorms, and blizzards are some of the major types of disaster that are covered in this book. Each type of disaster is briefly described with large photographs illustrating the dangers of these weather events. Each section also includes a sidebar with tips for preparing, enduring, and recovering from these events. Additional sidebars included sections on nature's signals (how the natural world indicates that a large weather event is coming) and my favorite, gadgets which shares different devices that can help one respond better to severe weather. This is a great resource book for children who are interested in wild weather (and there are a lot) or children who like the security of being prepared.
