Thunder Cake

When we've had thunderstorms. I enjoyed reading this delightful story, with beautiful illustrations, to my children, and now to my grandchildren, Then, we gather all of the ingredients and make the delicious cake (recipe at the end of the book)

All of Patricia Polacco’s books are wonderful. Her writing and art work never disappoints. She writes stories that deliver timey life lessons from her own experiences. This story is great in depicting an alternative way to deal with fears. You even get to make a treat at the end of the book as she includes the recipe for making your own Thunder Cake.

An old country grandmother teaches her granddaughter how to make a thundercake while counting how close the storm is. She learns more than one lesson and finds she is more brave than she thought. Lovely illustrations and even a recipe for your own thundercake.

My four year old loves this book! Great story!

Great book I’ve read to my kids and now grandkids. Perfect if they are scared of storms! Comes with a cake recipe too!’n

Rechenka's Eggs and Babushka's Doll were favorites for story time when my two children were little. Now I read to my two and four year old grandkids over Portal every night at bedtime. My granddaughter asked me for more books like those two. So I ordered Thunder Cake - it is every bit as good as the others. This story, too, has a healthy dose of that Old Country feel and is filled with a grandmother's love and encouragement. Thunder Cake is a new favorite in my family. Patricia Polacco has a real knack for writing books that appeal to kids and adults alike.

Great book for someone with kids afraid of thunderstorms.

My children love these little books. They thoroughly enjoy each and every story, as if they are all unique and individual without any cause for similarity among them. Even though sometimes, they might seem tedious and repetitive to me as a parent, I do enjoy being able to read short-stories to my children that are clean and respective.

This was a childhood favourite and massively recommend for anyone that is afraid of thunder. Product arrived on time and good condition

I read this book to my Kindergarten class as part of teaching "Leader in Me" program Habit # 1 - Be Proactive. It was a lovely story. The children were engaged throughout the story and the art was lovely. We talked about how we can make choices so that we are not afraid of things just as the character in the book made choices to be brave while getting the eggs, the milk, the dry ingredients and the secret ingredients. I highly recommend this as read aloud book for children.

I bought this for myself since I still read children's books. I bought it very excited and even though the book is good looking and the illustrations and hardbinding lovely, the story was alright. I am not too sure which age group it would be for but I'm interested to try it out with a couple of children I know. There's a recipe for Thunder Cake which I loved and know that kids would love finding that at the end, and be excited to try it at home. So if you're buying it for a kid, heads up about that so that you can be prepared for some baking request! I really like that part of the book that it involves children in the work the grown up is doing. It keeps them occupied while they deal with a fear and also helps them feel close to the adult. So it's a good book for kids. But not too good for adults who still read children's lit.

ふと昔読んだことを思い出し、探していました。どこも売り切れだったので、やっと手に入れることができて良かったです^^ かみなりケーキのレシピもずっと気になっていたので、これでやっと作れます！

my family ' loved this book I gave it to 2 grandchildren for Christmas, it was a hit, the art work is amazing, we love it,
