It is a day in the country,
and everthing is hot and still.
Then the hazy sky begins to shift.
Something is astir, something soundless.

The Storm Book,
A Kid's Review
This review is from: Storm Book (Charlotte Zolotow Book) (Library Binding)
The beginning of the Storm Book, starts out with the build of a big storm. The storm first striked with lightning and thunder, something the young boy in the book hasn't heard or seen. The thunder and lightning leads to heavy rain. After the storm pasts, the boy asked what the curving, misty arch of color was. His mother told him that it was a beautiful rainbow.I enjoyed the story very much. The words they used to describe the surrounding was very well done. This story could very possibly happen in real life. The pictures are very good. I hope you decide to take a look a this book, I'm sure you will be pleased...

This review is from: The Storm Book (Paperback)
I loved this book as a child and bought it for my child and he loves it too. Whenever it rains or storms we get the book out and read it. The book creates a very "cozy" feel. 5 STARS!
