The Storm Book shows what a thunder storm looks/is like in the country side, a city, on a sea shore, and in the mountains. The text gives very vivid descriptions of each setting in the story, and because the pages rotate from text ton one page to picture on the other, it really allows flow for a visualizing and comparison.

No science. I, personally, did not care for the illustrations. I find it hard to imagine a little farm boy would run across the fields to ask his mom what the silver streak (of lightning) was - I grew up rural and believe me, when a storm is coming, we're sticking close to the storm shelter. I also find it hard to believe a young shepherd with a new baby could have such a nice home.

I do agree that the text is lovely. And I like the way the storm is portrayed across different contexts by different people. And it's treated as just a storm - just a natural part of life - nothing to be scared of. ( )
