Hurricanes, cycles, and typhoons are all storm systems that are known by different names around the world. The book describes how hurricanes form and where hurricanes happen. Parts of a hurricane are also described in the book. The Saffir-Simpson hurricane scale determines what category hurricane a storm is. Hurricanes can cause destruction, which is also discussed in the book. Something that I found very interesting was that the book discusses the environmental impact of hurricanes, which is not always discussed. There are many pictures in this book, which I think helps children understand the severity of hurricanes. I also thought it was interesting that the names of North American hurricanes for 2014-2019 were included in the book. I found this book very interesting, and it is something that I would enjoy sharing with my students in a science class. ( )
