Storm Coming

Clouds rolling in, humidity rising, and distant rumbles of thunder--these are all signs that a storm is coming. This book is a collection of 22 poems by Audrey Baird, and vividly describes the effects of a thunderstorm. Baird uses a number of poetic forms: simile, metaphor, onomatopoeia, among others to make this a nice link between language arts and a unit on the weather. Illustrations by Patrick O'Brien add to the atmosphere of the storm.
