Description

As clouds amass overhead and rain starts to pour, ten little woodland animals hurry to find shelter. The text counts up as Bird, Mouse, Squirrel, Rabbit, Chipmunk, Woodchuck, Raccoon, Possum, and Red Fox all run for cover--then Skunk squeezes in and makes it 10! All night, they huddle together in the safety and warmth of the hollow, as the thunder claps and lightning flashes outside. In the morning, the storm has calmed, but the animals still hear the grumble of thunder in the distance. Imagine their surprise when they find the noise is coming from a bear! From 10 to 1, all of the animals scurry out of the bear's lair to find a big, beautiful day outside.

The Big Storm was selected for Southeastern Connecticut's One Book, Every Child Project!

THE BIG STORM A Very Soggy Counting Book started to bud when Alexandra, (my editor at Simon & Schuster Books for Young Readers) and I were having a phone conversation after her most recent plane trip out to visit her family. Alexandra mentioned how all the flights were canceled because of a big storm. Then I commented on how I can watch the animals outside my studio dash about just before a storm begins and take shelter in the old apple tree out my window. Then Alexandra said, "That would make a good counting book." That's all I needed to hear!
