Booklist Review

Through fictionalized narration, energetic characters, and fun cartoon illustrations, the If You Were a Kid series gives young readers insight into different areas of life, most of which have a STEM focus. A brief introduction precedes each story, which stars a boy and girl character and provides readers with plenty of factual tidbits. The most action-packed installment, Surviving a Hurricane, features two neighbors caught in a storm; readers will learn hurricane warning signs, preparations, and survival skills as well as what to do in the aftermath. Each story comes packed with quick-fact sidebars, complete with photographs and charts, and volumes end with handy, easy-to-follow maps, time lines, and glossaries. A fun, absorbing first step into nonfiction.--Reagan, Maggie Copyright 2017 Booklist
