A constant read at our house by Leslie S. (New Hampshire)  5 Stars
March 01, 2009
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.

Great Book! by Deborah Kobe (Southaven, Mississippi, United States) 5 Stars
September 06, 2008
Since we have moved to the South from California, my 5 year old has been a little frightened of thunder and lightning. This book explains what creates thunder and lightning in language a child of her age can understand. I highly recommend any book in this series.

I have a 5yr old by Chris Perkins (AK)  4 Stars
April 10, 2007
My son likes this book quite a bit. It's pretty informative and the illustrations are good. He knew most of the information already but the illustrations and the couple of new bits of information held his interest.

Excellent by Michelle Jacobia (Buffalo, NY USA) 5 Stars
September 06, 2005
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!

One of our boys' top picks over years by Caroline Otto (Lindon, UT USA) 5 Stars
July 21, 2000
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.
