A review by annieliz
Storm Called Katrina by Myron Uhlberg

4.0

This book does a good job of walking that line between being realistic and too scary for the youngest readers. This book tells the story of this devestating event, while also leaving some things unsaid. I was quite surprised by the reference to a "pile of clothes" in the water, but younger children will probably not understand, and older children will probably need some guidance to get what the pile of clothes represents. I think sometimes it can be easy to confuse picture books about natural disasters as trite because of the level at which they are written, but when you keep the intended audience in mind, it is suitable.
