Book Guide

Combining the beautifully descriptive prose of Charlotte Zolotow and Margaret Bloy Graham's brilliantly executed and exquisitely detailed pictures in lovely soft colors, here is a picture book that is so real, so alive, you can almost hear the rrrrrrrrrrmmmmmm DDDDDDDRRRRRRRR R R R of the thunder, as a summer storm sweeps over the countryside, the city, and the seashore, and almost feel the fresh clean air when the storm has passed and a lovely rainbow arches splendidly across the sky.

Children will be delighted with all the wonderful little details of both sights and sounds, as they follow the progress of the storm from the first faint rumbles of the thunder to the last pitapat of the last raindrop.
