Informative picture book

A month at the beach is interrupted by Hurricane Bob. A young girl and her father get busy: preparations are made; they ride out the storm; and clean up afterward. It is a very realistic and informative story with colorful illustrations. They stay at the beach because the house is on a high cliff, safe from waves. This would be poor behavior on the Gulf Coast where cliffs are lacking. Otherwise, it is a very good book. There is a very useful section at the back of the book about 'hurricane facts'.
