Ten adorable animals take cover from a storm in this eBook edition of Nancy Tafuri’s counting book. 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!

afuri, a Caldecott Honor winner, combines several elements in her new counting book and makes it all look simplea sign of true artistry.

And thenperhaps to be noticed in a second readingthere is a picture story about a curious puppy who follows the animals and sometimes interacts with them. All these qualities, plus a satisfying ending and the love and warmth that suffuses the pages, add up to an exceptional book.
