Book Overview
Storm in the night--lights flicker out, rain streams down the windows... This could be a moment to be scared, but Thomas and his grandfather huddle with Ringo the cat on their porch and share stories in the darkness. This lovely picture book is also a strong choice to share about overcoming fears.

Imagery at its best!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
I am a fourth grade teacher and this book is perfect for teaching various forms of figurative language. There are plenty of opportunities to explore similes, metaphors, onomotopoeia, and personification. The imagery is rich and vivid. Since its language and illustrations are more sophisticated, it captures and holds older students throughout this story making it a treasure for teaching students of all ages.

Not for the very young
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
I read this to my kindergarten class and they struggled to stay interested in the story. It contains mostly dialog which was difficult to follow. Also the dark illustrations were not friendly. The story is good, about overcoming fear and being honest about about your feelings. However, your audience should be about 1st or 2nd grade and you'll want to read it with different voices to help the children understand who is talking.
Storm In The Night Review
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
I really liked this book. It reminds me of some nights when there's a storm outside of my house. However I don't like how she puts the story in two worlds. One is in Thomas's world. One is in Grandfather's story. However it was a good story and the illustrations were exceptional.
