The Tornado Watches

I'm sure the meteorologist who wrote the other review is absolutely right about safety procedures, BUT as a work of literature, this book is just so wonderful -- it really deserves a wide audience. Jennings has an uncanny understanding, or perhaps memory, of the way children feel and think. Without being a bit condescending, he puts the reader right there in the minds of Ike and Mem. Children will relate to their fear, their support for one another, and ultimately to their reassurance. And did I mention the book is also gently humorous? Very highly recommended!
