Crum, S. ((2009).Thunder-Boomer. Boston, MA. : Clarion Books
Thunder-Boomer is the story of a sweltering day on the farm when a sudden thunderstorm arrives. The sounds of the day are described throughout the book. The day changes from a day too hot for activity to a day bustling with frantic activity to try to get everything put away and get inside before the downpour. They watch at the window as the wind whips dad's underwear into the sky and the rain and hail pour down. Then as suddenly as it came, it is gone. This book has beautiful pictures, sounds to make and a lot to talk about as you're reading. It's a great book to use when demonstrating phonological awareness ( ability to hear the different sounds in words) to childen and parents.

Carolyn Phelan (Booklist, Jul. 1, 2009 (Vol. 105, No. 21))One hot day, a farmer plows while his wife, children, and dog sit beside the pond. When a thunderstorm threatens, they hurry home, gather the laundry in off the line, bring a pet chicken into the house, and settle in to watch the lightning flash and feel the thunder shake the house. Hail threatens the corn and the metal roofs, but soon the storm ends. Going out to assess the damage, they find a wet kitten shivering near the shed and decide to give him a home. The evocative text and expressive illustrations work well together here, creating a strong sense of the storm sweeping across the land and an even stronger sense of how this good-natured family handles challenges and surprises. Opening the story in eight wordless pictures before the text begins, Thompson uses watercolor, gouache, pastel, crayon, and collage to create scenes charged with energy and human interest. This fine-tuned, occasionally funny picture book re-creates the satisfying drama of a summer storm. Preschool-Grade 2
