Storm's Coming

Hide and shelter everyone! There's a storm coming! Two adventerous squirrels are out in the forest when suddenly, the sky begins to darken and the wind begins to blow; a storm is on the way. On their way to find shelter, the squirrels find other animals who are looking for shelter as well. Fox is heading for his den, badger is going to his sett, rabbits are heading for their burrows, and mouse is hiding under a large leaf. A friendly owl has been tracking the storm and warns the animals that the storm is getting closer until suddenly: WOOSH! the storm strikes. After the storm, the animals all gather in the clearing and everyone is allright, but the squirrels seem to have found a treasure in their hiding spot. My children have grown to enjoy this book very much, and it has become one of their favorites to hear at bedtime. They especially like the suspense building up to when the storm strikes, and they also enjoy learing about the different animals and the names of their homes. This is a fun book for children. It is very educational, and the illustrations are bright and colorful. I highly recommend this book. The story is very good, plus your children will learn about animals and their homes as well.

Hide and Shelter Everyone! That's what Fox tells the other woodland creatures as the sky darkens. In this cute little book we learn the homes of various animals are called-badgers live in a "sett," who knew? Each animal passes the news on to the next as the storm grows near. When it's all over they gather together to make sure everyone is alright. Kids learn the signs of an oncoming storm, but also learn that it's nothing to worry about and that it passes soon. My family loves storms and we love this book. It is beautifully illustrated as well.
