The Storm Book by Charlotte Zolotow illustrated by Margaret Bloy Graham*

A boy watches a storm fill the sky over their farm.  The author shares descriptions of different locations which are experiencing the storm (city, mountains, the sea).
Very descriptive words-great word choice.
My preschooler was not very focused while reading this book-the text was on two pages and then the illustrations were the next two pages and so on.
*Highly recommend.
Strategies: inferring-figurative language, visualizing, T-T connections (see suggestion)
Pair with Patricia Polacco's Thundercake.
