Storms are a fascinating topic and a great way to get young readers interested in science. This series uses simple text and dramatic, full-color photos to take students inside nature's powerful and deadly storms. Each book explains one kind of storm- what it looks like, how it forms, the damage it can do, and how people can protect themselves from danger.

Las canciones de corro, de comba, las retahílas, las canciones de juego, las de echar a suertes, requieren un ámbito lúdico cada vez más escaso. Ya no es tan habitual ver a los niños jugando al ritmo de estas canciones en parques y plazas. La escuela, el patio del colegio, se pueden convertir, con la colaboración del maestro, en el último reducto a partir del cual rescatar estas canciones y juegos del olvido. Este extenso repertorio forma parte de nuestro folclore y, si se pierde, estaremos relegando al olvido una parte importante de nuestra cultura.
