A summer storm brings relief from the heatmdashand a surprisemdashto a farm family Its a hot day on the farm and a little girl her brother and their mother are trying to cool off by the pond Suddenly dark clouds roll in A thunder-boomer is on the way The storm brings pounding rain and hailmdashand an unexpected visitor a soggy wet stray kitten Colorful descriptions of the storm are accompanied by lots of playful sound effects making this free-verse poem perfect for reading aloud Charming watercolor illustrations capture all the drama humor and tenderness of the text
