My 2.5 year old favors this one over the other books about storms and I would have to agree with her.

A big storm is blowing up on the day Franklin is going to go play at Foxes house. He's very worried and nervous. His mom encourages him to go and he does. The storm hits while he's playing with friends and they all enjoy the storm. Franklin is scared and once he gets inside he goes into his shell and won't come out until his friends tell stories of what makes the lightning and thunder.

It's a cute story for very young children, especially ones afraid of a storm. It's on Franklin brand.

Yesterday, the Hurricane was supposed to come through Baltimore and it did, but it didn't stay around all day like they said it would. The winds were high enough though. I enjoy a good storm. I love to hear the rain on the roof. It's a pleasure. I was scared of it as a child though. Oh well. I grew to love them.
