Book 275

Just a Big Storm, by Mercer Mayer, HarperCollins 2013.

Today, we are having a not very lovely winter thunderstorm.  Complete with my five-year-old son's thunder monster. 

The Critter family knows how to prepare for a BIG thunderstorm -- more than just my usual break out the candles and flashlights routine -- so it was actually useful reading for me.  But I'm not the target audience.  Little Critter knows how to make every situation fun, and every adventure exciting.  That can take away some of the scariness of the thunder monster for my son.  And that is very good.  Because he is the target audience.
