Charming pictures, rhythm and rhyme about a family celebrating a storm down at their beach house (and distracting a scared little girl who is glad when the sun comes out again).

A book about a thunderstorm.

What's a family to do when their child is afraid of the storm? Make a racket and have a dance party!

[Susanne · Rating 5 out of 5]

A wonderful book to read aloud with young children. The pace and rhythm of the text really captures the feel of a storm, building to a crescendo and then calming as the thunderstorm passes. A great text for the classroom with lots of opportunities for children to relate to the energy of a thunderstorm through sound and movement.

With vibrantly energetic and lyrical text complemented by beautiful illustrations, this is a special children's picture book. I can see it being brought to life by groups of kids using art, dance and drama.
