My two boys, now aged 3 and almost 5, have asked for this constantly over a period of two years. They put it in the top five the top of their favorite books list and we have a LOT of outstanding books. My older boy has wowed several adults with his lectures on how lightening and thunder work. I highly recommend the book/cassette combination. My husband and I also enjoy listening to it after many, many hearings. It is entertaining, soothing, interesting, and educational.
This book is designed to provide beginning readers with information about thunderstorms, and safety. It includes information on how to make a cloud, rain gauge and web sites. Very good reading for grade levels 1-3.
This book isn't exactly for younger kids -- it's far too scary for little ones, and doesn't really give them any context.It "warns" kids of the danger of lightning by saying that it can start your house on fire, and that it kills cows and horses and people. And that if there is a storm, they should stay away from TVs, bathtubs, sinks, phones, wires, and pipes, because they all carry lightning into the house. And the way it's presented, it makes it seem like those things are all pretty much guaranteed during a storm (but also tells kids to get inside immediately during a storm, because otherwise they're at risk of getting struck by lightning).So, if you want your youngster to be terrified of lightning, by all means, read this book to them. I'd probably skip this one.
This book gives a great description that EVERYONE can understand about rain, thunder and lightning. We have tried in so many different ways to teach our daughter about this phenomena and when we read the book she realized that we were telling the truth!
I purchased this book for my two grandsons, ages 3 and 5 years old. The younger of the two sometimes gets really scared when the thunder rolls and the lightening flashes. We've explained to him what is happening, but this book was an excellent "hands on" explanation of it, along with the pictures. It has helped the little one so much. The older grandson is interested in the weather in general, and is always ready to learn something new about it, and so was happy to have the book. The book fit both the boys very well.
This is a great book for teaching about weather. Specifically it teaches about thunder and lightning which may puzzle many students and teachers alike. My students enjoyed listening to this story and hearing new things about thunder and lightning.
I cannot say how many, many times I read this book to my children and then found them reading it to themselves! Storms are a scary thing to children, and I think the way this book explains what happens takes some of the mystery out of it making it a little less scary. As usual with the read and find out series, there is usually a bit that the parent learns as well! A great homeschool book.
This is a scary book that scared my kid more. it makes him think that the storm is dangerous and something could happen to him... I had to staple the whole mid section of the book together so he wouldn't be scared of reading it...
