ALA Booklist (Sat Oct 01 00:00:00 CDT 2016)

Designed to introduce students to the parts of a nonfiction book (table of contents, headings, sidebars, maps, glossary, index, etc.), the books in the Disaster Zone series reveal types of natural disasters through relatively short texts and large, color photos. Each book ends with suggestions aimed at preventing these events when possible and preparing for those that are unavoidable. The back matter includes an activity, which might be simple (placing two ice cubes on a plate, sprinkling salt on one, and observing what happens) or more involved but less engaging (using the Internet to research a topic and answering a series of questions). Ice Storms spotlights a damaging 1998 storm in Quebec and describes how Atlanta's 2000 ice storm affected the Super Bowl as well as area residents. The colorful page design and clearly reproduced photos are appealing, but little space is allocated to text, limiting the books' usefulness. Attractive supplemental material for science collections.
