Just A Thunderstorm (A Golden Look-Look Book) Reviews


  • Alice

    Personally, I love thunder and lightning. I love photographing lightning...but as a kid I remember being a little scared. In fact my first memory was about age 3 and the wind was blowing and I said to my mom "I want to watch Kermit the Frog before the power goes out" (I guess the power when off a lot in my small hometown when a storm came in) and my mom said "Go watch it before the power goes out." So I did. I also heard from the TV Show "Nigh Court" that thunder was just God's bowling ball "crash" in the alley and to not be scared. This book is a good resource for kids who may be scared when the lightning comes!

  • Tricia

    Another Little Critter book, this title was requested to be read twice, I'm guessing because it was reassuring in its description of a storm rolling in, the power going out and the rainbow after the storm. Illustrations capture the fear of children during the storm's events without adding to a child's fright.

  • Rosa Cline

    Little Critter's sister gets her own book, as she's the main character in this book. She is afraid of the storms outside. And she turns to everyone to 'quiet her fears' including her brother. But in the end the storms go away and she gets to go outside and play in the mud!

  • Vicki

    A traditionally told Mayer book, with sister and brother dealing with a thunderstorm. A bit dated with references to "roll up the windows on the car" and listening to music "on my favorite tape" but in other ways a timeless story.

  • Kayla

    A favorite for sure from my own childhood. I read this to our four year old and was hoping it would hold up to the test of time, and it most definitely did.
    For Connie, this was a new book to her. We’ve never read any books from this series and I honestly wasn’t sure if she would like them. But she did seem to enjoy it, related it to our experiences of storms, and was ready for bedtime by the end of it. Although the next night she did pick a different book, so 🤷🏻‍♀️

    A good book to read from Little Critter about a thunderstorm approaching. It will calm fears and anxiety.
