A loud clap of thunder booms, and rattles the windows of Grandma's old farmhouse. "This is Thunder Cake baking weather," calls Grandma, as she and her granddaughter hurry to gather the ingredients around the farm. A real Thunder Cake must reach the oven before the storm arrives. But the list of ingredients is long and not easy to find . . . and the storm is coming closer all the time! Reaching once again into her rich childhood experience, Patricia Polacco tells the memorable story of how her grandma--her Babushka--helped her overcome her fear of thunder when she was a little girl. Ms. Polacco's vivid memories of her grandmother's endearing answer to a child's fear, accompanied by her bright folk-art illustrations, turn a frightening thunderstorm into an adventure and ultimately . . . a celebration! Whether the first clap of thunder finds you buried under the bedcovers or happily anticipating the coming storm, Thunder Cake is a story that will bring new meaning and possibility to the excitement of a thunderstorm.

Patricia Polacco will always have a place in my heart! I loved her books and the illustrations as a child and even now as an adult. I can't wait to read this to kids in a classroom, my niece or anyone who wants to listen! Thunder Cake helped me get over my fear of storms, just as her Babushka did. My favorite illustration is of the little girl and her Babushka, with the ingredient list. The illustrations flow through the book and the text isn't too difficult to understand for a small child
Thunder Cake is another great story telling of family tradition from Polacco. The young girl and her grandmother prepare a "Thunder Cake" as a storm is coming in. As they prepare to get the ingredients for the meal by going into the different animal sheds, the young girl becomes less afraid of the impending storm.
This book is excellent for displaying courage in a time of fear and uncertainty. It's a great book to read to children that are afraid of thunderstorms. I like how the grandmother distracted the young girl from her fear by encouraging her to do something creative and constructive. This could even give parents some ideas on how to get their child to overcome a fear of thunderstorms. Extension Activity: I would read this book to the class on a rainy day. Then I would have a classroom discussion
Oh, Im glad that I was alone when I read this. I made peculiar sounds as I laughed at the illustrations of a cat that appears on many of the pages. Polacco draws cats so well. I also came close to crying, no surprise to me now with Polaccos books.This book is beautifully illustrated. The animals and people and settings are all painted so lovingly.This is an apparently true story of how Patricia Polaccos beloved grandmother helped her get over her fear of thunderstorms. What a creative and loving
