[Following is a volunteer review of "Storm Chasing" by Scott Withers.]
I really enjoyed reading Storm Chasing with my kids—it was such an engaging and educational experience for all of us. My son, in particular, was absolutely fascinated to learn that storm chasing is a real thing! He’s always been deeply curious about tornadoes, hurricanes, and all kinds of extreme weather, so this book truly captured his imagination from the very beginning. It opened the door to so many great conversations about how storms form, what it’s like to study them up close, and how people can safely observe and learn from these powerful natural events.
The artwork in Storm Chasing is absolutely stunning. Each illustration is vivid, dramatic, and packed with detail—it really brings the intensity and excitement of storm chasing to life. The visuals added so much to the overall reading experience, helping my kids picture what it's like to be out in the field tracking a thunderstorm or racing ahead of a tornado. The illustrations kept their attention and sparked even more curiosity with every page.
What I especially appreciated was how the book manages to be both informative and entertaining. It presents real scientific facts and concepts in a way that’s easy for young readers to understand without feeling watered down. It’s the perfect mix of adventure and education, making it an ideal choice for kids who are naturally curious about the world around them.
Overall, Storm Chasing is a fantastic read for curious young minds. It inspires wonder, encourages questions, and introduces kids to the exciting world of meteorology and storm science. I would highly recommend it to any family with children who are fascinated by weather or science in general—this book is sure to leave a lasting impression!
