As a tornado thrashes above, a family
hides in a storm cellar and listens to
the stories of a farmhand named Pete.
Pete tells them about a dog that was
blown into his life by a tornado.
Appropriately named Tornado, the dog
finds himself in humorous situations,
such as drinking up a turtle and
playing card tricks. Ben-Ami’s
realistic pencil drawings help bring
this warm story to life. A great
beginner chapter book about a boy and
his dog.

This is good book. My teacher read it aloud to my class. I think it is funny that the dog can do card tricks!
