Hurricane Irene has hit the East Coast and will be ripping it's way north like a buzzsaw. Perhaps, you've heard some of the questions from your kids already...What's a hurricane?What do we need to do? We'll still have our Playstation, right? Of course, that last one is a little tricky to get through, but there's another chance to explain electricity.
This time though we're talking hurricanes, and if you're looking for a great way to teach children about hurricanes, Sylvan Dell Publishing is offering a free e-book, Ready, Set . . . WAIT!: What Animals Do Before a Hurricane
for the next few days. Ready, Set…WAIT! deals with what costal animals do before a storm hits. Of course, it has Sylvan Dell's free educational section in the back and tons of teaching activities, quizzes, and related websites on the book’s homepage. Check it out at the Sylvan Dell Publishing website.
