What are flash floods and how can you be safe from them? These questions are explored in this non-fiction title for beginner readers that features short sentences, large fonts, and many large, color photographs. Clear, easy-to-understand writing helps readers understand how dangerous flash floods can be, while also providing steps to keep safe and to help reduce the danger of floods. Engaging, relevant photographs illustrate the text, however, the publisher included a photo of Czech and Slovakia first responders in a boat instead of U.S. first responders, which may confuse readers. Includes a short picture glossary and index.
