Tornado
In this story Tornado there is a family that lives on a farm. One cloudy day the middle age boy seen a funnel and he asked his mom to come here. She told him that there was a tornado coming and that everyone needed to get to the cellar. Everyone made it to the cellar but there dad was out in the corn field and didn't see the tornado coming. When they got into the cellar there mom told them that their dad probably realized that there was tornado coming and made it into a ditch. During the tornado the oldest boy told stories about when he was a younger kid. His stories where about a dog that had landed in there yard on day during a tornado. He asked his parents if he could keep the dog they said only if we don't find the owner. About a month later nobody claimed the dog. On that same day they were getting ready to ride into town and the dog jumped into the back of the truck. He asked his dad if Tornado the dog could come along. So he did but when they got to the hardware store they went in and bought what they needed. After that when they came out there was a family surrounded by the bed of the truck. The youngest girl told the boy that this was her dog .He couldn't believe it and he dropped the bag of nails. They took the dog and one day they were outside and he had come back to them. His dad told him that he could keep the dog because it had come back. In my opinion this is a really good book for children that are in 3rd grade in up. I really enjoyed this book. It's a good book to me because I like dogs.

¿'There's a tornado, go into the cellar!¿ The story, Tornado by Betsy Byers, takes place in the past. Its about a dog named Tornado and a boy named Pete. The book begins with the tornado and everybody has to go in to the cellar so they will be safe . One of the kids asked Pete to tell a story about his dog Tornado so he did but the kids have already heard all of the stories. the way Pete found Tornado was after the storm when the roof fell off the house because of the tornado and Pete found him in his dog house that fell on the yard. Then Pete talked about how he lost Tornado to a little girl.
Tornado is a dog that is not that smart but that's only when he's not paying attention to what he's doing . Tornado is also brave and he can be demanding like the time Five-o-clock (the neighborhood cat) found the whole he was digging the hole morning and decided to lay in it. Tornado got so mad at that cat that Pete's mom made Pete get Five-o-clock out of the hole and tie Tornado to the garage and barry the hole. After that day Tornado never dug another hole. Pete is the owner of Tornado the dog Pete is the one that cleans up Tornado's mistakes like the time Tornado was going to get so mad that he could of killed five-o-clock the cat . It takes a lot to make him cry.
The book Tornado is a very good book . I would recommend it to people that are slow readers and to people that like to cry , and to people that like dog and cats that hate each other. I liked the book Tornado because Tornado reminds me of my dog Daisy because they both like to dig holes and they both hate cats. I also liked the book because it was funny because of the time Tornado was drinking out of a bowl and a turtle was in the bowl and he drank the turtle and it got stuck in his moth . I give this book four thumbs up because it was a good book . If you want to see what happens at the end of the book you should read the book and find out for yourself. -

Tornado is a wonderful book. It is a great book for children to read. I think it is a good book for children because it is very funny and it would make them laugh. It also might be a little sad at the end but it would quickly become happy. I would give this 5 stars because I never wanted to stop reading it and I always wanted to know more. You should read Tornado, it's a great book!

My favorite character is the dog that was named Tornado because I love dogs. This was a good book. A dog and a tornado are alike so the dog is named Tornado. This dog played with his owner. The boy lived on a farm and he raised cows. The dog was a black lab.

Tornado drops doghouse!
Tornado is a very exciting book. I liked it very much. I liked the part when the tornado comes, and the doghouse lands in their yard. They named the dog Tornado. I also like how Tornado puts the turtle in his mouth while the family is turtle sitting. I think that they could do better on the name for their cat, Five-Thirty. When Tornado gets taken away by his real owner, I thought that was pretty sad. But when he came back to Pete¿s house, that was pretty good. Tornado is an excellent book!
