Went for a walk and the sky was split in two by the lovely British Summer Weather. Sunny, scattered cloud skies to the East and Thunder storms and rain to the West. It was very blustery but the wind pushed me home and just in time

Cleo is almost 9 and just decided that she is going to be afraid of rain and thunder. She keeps looking up at the ceiling and shaking. When we don‘t have enough sympathy for her she runs to the bathroom to hide. She didn‘t appreciate my reading “It‘s Just A Thunderstorm” to her. 🤷🏼♀️I don‘t know why #cleopatraboodog #littlecritter #mercermayer #thunderstorm
This picture book has amazing illustrations that shows exactly what is going on in the book. It also uses some diversity language by calling grandma “babushka“. There is no stereotyping in this book and i love that it leaves the thunder cake recipe in the back of the book.
I would use this book in my classroom on a cloudy, stormy day. I would have the children draw pictures of their thunder cake and the ingredients to make it.
Found at a local estate sale today. These old books smell soooooo good.
Ready for a little summer thunder-boomer ⚡️
This realistic fiction picture book is a great opportunity for an author study. It‘s a story about a grandma teaching her granddaughter to bake a cake when storms come.

“Before I left my bed in the morning, little Adèle came running in to tell me that the great horse chestnut at the bottom of the orchard had been struck by lightning in the night, and half of it split away.” #thunderstorms are used not just for @Sarah83 but for deep symbolism in this most classic of #litsyclassics. (This illustration from my edition is from much later in the story than the quote.)
