Thunder Cake

The absolute perfect book for Midwest kids, especially any kids afraid of thunder or storms in general.

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.

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)

great new book fast shipping.

Read this as a kid and helped with my thunderstorm fears. Bought it for my kids and has helped them too! Beautiful pictures and story. The cake isn’t my favorite, but it’s good- worth a try!

Such a cute book I impulsively bought it for my 3 month old after being influenced by a Pinterest reel… let’s just say I’ve already read it to her three times… well let’s face it, I read it for myself bc it’s so cute! Also the cake recipe is actually so fun 🎂 very aesthetic artwork too might I add😌

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.

We have shared this story with our Grandchildren for many years! It’s a fun story about a little girl overcoming her fear of thunderstorms with the help of her Grandma/babushka. We love to make a thunder cake each time we read it. If a storm doesn’t materialize, we play thunder and rainstorm sounds on our phone. In the summer we pick tomatoes and strawberries and gather ingredients for the cake. Too bad we don’t have mean Nellie peck hen or old kick cow! And although we don’t have a streaming samovar, we do make a pot of herb tea to go with our cake. Don’t miss this make-a-memory book!

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.

Book is fantastic. That art is beautiful and the story is a classic. I loved this book as a child and look forward to sharing this with my step daughter

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！
