Flash, Crash, Rumble, and Roll (Let's-Read-and-Find-Out Science 2) Reviews
-
We're learning all about the weather, specifically thunder and lightning storms!
Read for our 1st grade Science unit on weather. -
Explains the basics of what causes a thunderstorm to develop, lightning, and thunder. It examines some of the hazards of thunderstorms and how to stay safe.
A simple but solid scientific intro to thunderstorms, lightning, and thunder for kids. It explains how thunder and lightning happen in ways easy for kids to grasp. There are some simple experiments in the back of the book for kids who like hands on science. A great resource for a lower grades weather unit, kids who are scared of storms, and curious little readers. -
Too complex for the target audience. The language is not simplified or written to be interesting. Its a little too detailed and uses words more advanced than is appropriate. The illustrations and level of diction not match.
-
Filled with facts, diagrams, and safety tips for storms, Flash, Crash, Rumble, and Roll is a great way to explain to kids and adults alike what causes storms and how to stay safe when they arrive.
-
Read this for our weather/sun/water lesson and the students liked learning about the different kinds of weather and what the sky looks like during each one
-
I was disappointed with this one. Can’t put my finger on why.

My review is of the original 1964 Ed Emberley illustrated edition. The current volume for sale has revised text and new illustrations. In fact, this book has been through a few revisions through the years. The text of this edition is a little out-dated, we don't really use terms like "sonic boom" anymore and frankly the text isn't exactly entertaining either. I usually am quite fond of Branley's contributions to this series but he became a little dry and technical with this one as he does fit a lot of information into this picture book. The text covers all about what thunder and lightning are and how they are made, how to stay safe in a storm and why not to be afraid of storms. What I do like about this book and why I'm keeping this first edition for my collection is Emberley's illustrations. He has used a plethora of techniques: foam stamps, stencils, paint splattering and his drawing style as shown in his "how to draw" books is in fine form here

Another science book meant for young audiences, but I found this one more interestig because it was specifically about lightning and thunder. I wish I'd had this book while growing up. Then I would have had a source to back me up when I tried to tell my friend that lightning did not come from the ground up. (Except for more in-depth circumstances that I won't go into right now.) It's nice to know I'm not the only one who counts between lightning and thunder (a result of watching "Castaways" many times). But apparently I was gauging the distance all wrong.

Again, this was on the Joy School curriculum list for Joy of the Earth. Sometimes the Joy of the Earth books are just about how pretty the earth is, but this had more than just an emotional angle, it was scientific about storms. It was really informative. I don't know that my kids will remember a lot from it after just checking it out of the library once, but when we talk about storms in science it would be worth bringing back to the house and of course next year when we return to this Joy School unit.

I believe my copy of this book was more blue and purplish. Regardless, it has always been one of my favorite books for children, when it comes to weather. I got my first copy when I was a child in the 1960's and read it to my brother. In the 1980's, I read it to my children and when I found another copy, I bought it for my grandchildren. Ironically, I haven't seen the last one since we were hit by a tornado in December of 2008. I WILL buy another one.

I love learning about the weather, so maybe I'm a little bias.. But I really enjoyed reading this picture book! It is one of those books that does a great job at making confusing concepts very fun and easy! It is a great book for learning about the weather and why it is the way it is. I know children would learn a lot from this book. I know I did! There are lot of fun facts that I know would interest and entertain kids.
-
LOVE THIS BOOK! Its great 'cause its interesting and is very informative. I thoroughly enjoyed reading it and think that kids would like it too! It talks about what to and not to do in a thunderstorm, how to tell how far the lightning is , how rain clouds are formed, and much more. Really interesting stuff, and it also explains things in ways that are easy to understand which is good when teaching to all ages.
-
This book offers a simple breakdown to why lightning storms occur and why thunder makes the sound it makes. This book is enjoyable because it offers a simple breakdown of a complex process in nature. I would definitely use this with my children by combining ELA and Science so that students can learn science as well as grow their reading skills.
-
Great explanations of weather, how thunderstorms are formed, the process of clouds, all about electricity and thunderstorms.
-
This book would be good for Kindergarten and first grade. It describes how to keep safe during a storm and also has some fun activities.
-
This is a great book to use when talking about thunderstorms and how they are formed. This seems like a really good series.
-
This book explores clouds, lightening, and thunderstorms. It would be a great book to use for a science lesson on storms and how they form.
-
A fun science book that is among the first my kids can read themselves.
-
It sucks.
