The Best Book

If you are afraid of thunder this is a book that you can relate to. The book, Thundercake, by Patricia Polacco is awesome because it teaches a very valuable lesson. The little girl in this story is afraid of thunder. When she visits her Babushka, thunder comes into town! When the little girl goes under the bed, her Babushka asks," Why do you go under the bed?" The little girl said that she is afraid of the thunder. When her Babushka hears that she says, "Let's go make thundercakes." The little girl counts how many miles the thunder is away from them. They have to bake the cakes before the lightening reaches them. If you want to find out if they make it or not, then you have to read the whole book. I think this book was awesome so I give Thundercake an excellent 5 out of 5 stars.

Afraid of Thunder?

Patricia Polacco writes a dear story of a grandmother, her Babushka, and her granddaughter, Patricia herself, that will help, if not banish your thunder fears. It is a true story, told in a way you can interact during the story and after it is over, bake your own Thunder Cake using the recipe at the end. Polacco is a teller of unforgettable tales, most if not all, are based on true experiences. After reading all her books, some many times, to hundreds of children, I promise you too will find her books enchanting. Polacco does her own art work, which is delightful. I met her once and told her that I loved Chicken Sunday the best. She smiled at me and replied, " How kind of you." I would like to suggest you discover Polacco's talents that will bring you and your listeners joy beyond measure.

Help with fear of thunder

Great way to help children overcome fear of thunder. Fantastic illustrations. Interactive as recipe for Thundercake is included.

I have loved this bookever since I was a child, and still have never forgot it. I think that all of Patricia's books should be shared with children all over the world.

A spectacular book!

Thunder cake is an amazing book. It's about a girl at her grandma's and whenever she hears thunder she hides under her bed. Her grandma shows the girl how brave she really is. Her grandma teaches her to make a thunder cake. To make a thunder cake you have to make it right when the storm is happening. When she overcomes her fear they all eat Thunder cake. It was a great book. I liked how the text filled the room with warmth and love,I also liked how it had a recipe of the thunder cake at the back of the book! This is a great book for a stormy day.

A Must Read

I love this book. This book, Thunder Cake has been my all time favorite since the third grade, now I'm in the 10th, and still love it. If I am correct, this was the first book I ever checked out of my school library. I have read this book 20 times. It's a great story to read to young children. It's about a girl, Patricia Polacco, who visits her grandmother and helps out on the farm. The title comes from the name of the cake Patricia and her grandmother makes. At the end of the story there is the ingredients to the cake. This is fun because you and your child could actually pretend that you are like Patricia and her grandmother and make you own thunder cake. So help make this one of your childs favorite book and buy it and read it, and you would have fun with it to!

When would the storm arrive?

With the help of her grandmother the little girl discovered her courage and overcame her fear of thunderstorms. While the text conveys tension and reminds the reader about the storm, the pictures provide warmth and comfort. The reader is absorbed into the picture forgetting about the storm.
