Ready, Set... Wait! by Patti R. Zelch illus by Connie McLennanZelch answers the question to What Animals Do Before a Hurricane?
This was a great, easy to follow, and very informative look at what some animals do with a hurricane on its way. Three of the animals included, crocodiles, manatees and butterflies. I love Zelch's straight forward text.
"Crocodiles may crawl to open water or into deep canal and rivers that crisscross the land. Concealed below the water's surface - they wait!"
McLennan's illustrations are wonderful and fit perfectly. The author inculdes some more facts in the back.
Including - What is a Hurricane? and When Hurricane season is? There's a world map and graphs to rely some very useful information. Ages 5 up.
