What did you like about the book: The Natural Disasters series is great for early readers interested in nonfiction text. Flood! is one of three in the series – Volcano! and Earthquake! are the other two. ‘All living things need water to survive. But when there is too much rain, a flood can happen. Learn how floods form and how we try to avoid them.’ A fact-filled text and simple colorful illustrations make this great for those learning to read and keen to gain knowledge about our earth. The back pages contain interesting facts about floods.
