This is an informational book about thunder and lightning. The kids will love the fascinating pictures of different types of lightning and learning about the effects of static electricity. Very fun projects can be done with this book as a read aloud or informational guide.

This is a great informational book that shows photos of various lightning types and conditions. It also explains how lightning forms, and what can be done to be safe during a thunder and lightning storm. At the end of the book, there is a glossary page of words that were used in the text that may be new to the reader.
