My 8 year old daughter had to read this as part of the 3rd grade summer reading list. She enjoyed. It was a much better book than some they are required to read.

Tornado is the story of a boy and his dog with a few twists. Farmhand Pete corrals the family into the root celler when a tornado appears in the distance. He takes their mind off the storm by telling stories of a dog that dropped down into his life during another storm-a dog he named Tornado.

I use this book every year with my third grade class when studying a unit on tornados. They do a storyboard summarizing each chapter. They laugh all through the book. The LOVE it! I am glad I found it on Amazon because it is very difficult to locate for purchase.
There is a tornado that causes a farm family to retreat to their storm cellar. To keep the children from thinking about the danger, their farm helper tells them stories about a tornado and a very special dog from his childhood.

I think this book was okay because I like to read about tornadoes and twisters. Pete was a very nice man. Pete's dog did what he was told. I like Tornado because he did a lot of card tricks. I like Mary Lou because she fed the turtle a lot.

This book is about a dog named Tornado. He can do all sorts of things. Things that a dog cannot usually do. Pete tells stories about Tornado the dog and the adventures they had. Like the one with five thirty,or the one with the turtle,and the very sad part at the end. What will happen to Tornado? Find out in this book.
