Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
An imaginative story of a little boy who conquers his fear of thunder!
When lightning flares in the faraway sky and clouds growl like lions waking, big brother Chad is thrilled by the coming storm. But not little brother Brannon. He looks for a place to hide. Each adult tries to calm Brannon in turn by comparing the thunder to something that's not scary.
But still Brannon runs to take cover. It's not until the thunder is compared to dinosaurs that Brannon loses his fear. He knows all about dinosaurs. He loves them and always wanted to have one for his own. Now, he comforts himself-and his big brother-as he clomps and stomps and rages and rumbles with all the ferocity of Dinosaur Thunder!
Lyrical writing with powerful emotional resonance will inspire the youngest readers to conquer their fears.
Brannon is afraid of thunder until his older brother compares thunder to one of Brannon's favorite subjects--dinosaurs.
