    This book is an informational text in the form of narrative that tells stories of different historical events when volcanoes erupted such as Pompeii. It would best be used for a more fluent reader because of its complex storyline, information, vocabulary, and syntax. It would be great for guided reading because the text is challenging and there are many topics to discuss related to it. Students may need help with the many historical contexts to accumulate a better understanding of the text.

    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.
