| "Jon does a GREAT job bringing the hobby of storm chasing to children. It's amazing how many kids are interested in tornadoes and storms.
This is a first-ever book that I have seen that brings this great hobby to the level of children. Book is well written and easy to understand. As far as I'm concerned, this book should be on the shelves of every school library. My wife has already bought several copies for the school she teaches at! Bravo!" -Tim Samaras |
