Synopsis
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., A loud clap of thunder booms, and rattles the windows of Grandma's old farmhouse.

    Love Thunder Cake!

    Read this as a child with my mom I'm absolutely love this story! Just got this for my baby girl and we will do the same I will read it with her just as my mom read it with me. Brings back memories to my childhood and when we actually made the Thunder Cake following the recipe inside look forward to doing that with my daughter. And I am sure she will enjoy this book just as much as we did. Would highly recommend this book to any mother and child!

    Thunder Cake

    All of her books are WONDER-full! Because I am a grandma with goats and chickens and rabbits and living in Michigan just like her babushka in this story, there is a real connection.From the oldest to the youngest members of my family enjoy her books. Reading them in sequence gives you the story of the authors life. She is gifted when sharing the emotional ups and downs of her life. She shares her parents divorce in such a matter of fact way that the reader sees and believes that their family can survive this too. Pat shares insights into her Russian heritage. I especially liker seeing Icons on shelves in the farmhouse. I too have Icons. All of her books fill one with the hope that all will be well.
