Haha! What a title! I like how the author addressed one of the things that bring fear to children in a friendly manner. Atleast, they would understand what exactly causes these thunder and lightening at their level. Also, introducing children to science at this early stage is not such a bad idea. I'm definitely getting this book!

To start off with, at first reading the review I was thinking it was gunna be like all the other kid book but came to realization it’s not it’s actually interesting I know as a kid I always question we’re did thunder and lightning come from so to give a kid that clarification at a young age is great (:

It's good to knowthat the author does not come up with stories to describe what's going on, but rather teaches the children the real truth about thunder and lightning. Thumbs up for a great review!

From the title alone, I knew this would be handy. My child would absolutely appreciate this. Even if it had been a fluffy story I'd take it, anything to get the fear curbed 😜Thanks for the review

I strongly believe that we should give kids honest, age-appropriate explanations when they ask questions. Our kids know only a little bit about thunder and lightning since my own knowledge is limited. A book like this will certainly help to explain the happenings during a storm in simple scientific terms.

"When I was a child, I was told rain was angels’ tears, and thunder was the sound of angels bowling in heaven." - I giggled so hard at this statement! Anyway, I like this book. It sounds like the author did a good job of explaining science at a level that children can quickly comprehend. Great review.

This is a nice review and a pleasant book that does a good job explaining thunder and lightning to small children. I will be using it to read to a special needs child that I know who is horribly afraid of storms. Thanks to the author for tackling this subject and congratulations on receiving BOTD!
