My 5 year old son has a great interest in weather, especially rainstorms, and he absolutely loved this book! I would have given it 5 stars, but it was a bit implausible that the boys' parents would have let them go swimming in the ocean the morning before a hurricane was to arrive. However, that's what made the story so exciting to my son!
