This book makes a tornado a cute "fun" adventure!!!

Worse book I have ever bought. I have a grandson who is very interested in weather so I have been looking for books about weather. The description says that it is an 'educational adventure to learn all about tornadoes'. There is no education in it, the author says that Tamara sucks up some paint and changes into a 'rainbow' colored tornado. There is nothing about staying safe if you are in the path of a tornado, nothing about how dangerous they are, nothing about how much destruction they can cause. Yes, the age range for the book is for K-Gr 3, but don't lie to them and tell them they turn into rainbow colors and gently drop a favorite blankie into the owners backyard. Don't lie to them and tell kids that a tornado is having "fun" as it travels along the ground.
