Thunderstorm
Author: Arthur Geisert
Rating: 4/5 Stars
Reviewer: Helen
Summary:
The story follows a
thunderstorm through drawings, minute by minute, hour by hour as it travels
through Midwestern farm country. From early afternoon to early evening, the
illustrations show in great detail the storm evolving into a tornado and its
destruction of everything in its path. This is a wordless book and the
illustrations show the sky changing and the storm becoming more intense and
destructive, and also describes its effect on the inhabitants of the community, both
human and non-human.
Review: The illustrations tell the
power and force of a summer storm and how great the destruction can be in a six-hour time frame. There is a lot going on in each picture ,but words were
not needed to describe what is happening. An excellent picture book for Kindergarten to age 3.
