Title: Thunder Cake Author: Patricia Polacco Format: Trade Paperbound |
Patricia Polacco’s Thunder Cake has always been a favorite of mine. It starts off with this little girl hiding under her grandmother’s bed because she is afraid of the thunder. Well, Babushka will have none of that. “Let’s make a thunder cake,” she declares. This brings our frightened young one out from under the bed to find out what that is. In order to have this special cake, she must venture out of the house where the big Midwestern thunder storm is, not to mention the goats and the geese and the big pig. Her babushka helps her along with plenty of patience and a lot of hugs. By the time this wonderful chocolate cake comes out of the oven, our little heroine is no longer afraid of the big thunder storm. And for those that are salivating over that cake, the author is kind enough to include the recipe. I would recommend this to anyone who has a child that is afraid of things that can be explained and worked away.
