Flash Floods

Discover Now series

Did you know that when flood­wa­ters rise very quick­ly, it’s known as a flash flood? Big storms can bring lots of rain, which some­times caus­es rivers to over­flow and even sweep away cars or wash out roads. But there are some basic steps for stay­ing safe in a flash flood, like keep­ing away from rivers, avoid­ing flood­ed roads, and going to high­er ground. For kids who are curi­ous about the world around them comes Dis­cov­er Now!, a wel­com­ing lev­eled read­er series writ­ten by experts and devel­oped with edu­ca­tors on a range of STEM sub­jects. Each fact-filled non­fic­tion book begins with an infor­ma­tive note to care­givers and a table of con­tents, is packed with col­or­ful pho­tos, and ends with a glos­sary and index. This book is a Lev­el 1 read­er, per­fect for curi­ous kids who are just start­ing their read­ing journey.
