Tornado by Deb Kay (Pell CIty, AL USA)  5 Stars
October 23, 2009
My 8 year old daughter had to read this as part of the 3rd grade summer reading list. She enjoyed. It was a much better book than some they are required to read.

Tornado by Betsy Byars by CDF 5 Stars
February 24, 2008
I use this book every year with my third grade class when studying a unit on tornados. They do a storyboard summarizing each chapter. They laugh all through the book. The LOVE it! I am glad I found it on Amazon because it is very difficult to locate for purchase.
There is a tornado that causes a farm family to retreat to their storm cellar. To keep the children from thinking about the danger, their farm helper tells them stories about a tornado and a very special dog from his childhood.

Tornado  2 Stars
April 28, 2006
I think this book was okay because I like to read about tornadoes and twisters. Pete was a very nice man. Pete's dog did what he was told. I like Tornado because he did a lot of card tricks. I like Mary Lou because she fed the turtle a lot.
