Thunder Cake

Thunder Cake | Patricia Polacco

Have you ever made a ‘Thunder Cake‘? I love this story and the challenge! Meanwhile I imagine that the ingredients are made with all the elements of a storm, and that a storm is happening inside the cake…

TheBookHippie Something to put on the TO DO list! 5mo

JenniferEgnor @TheBookHippie I would love to see a cook pull this off on tv, totally old style. Meaning, you have to be on the farm…go get the eggs from the free range chickens, pick the berries…I think if you‘re testing the center of the cake when the first drops of rain begin to fall, as long as the tester comes out clean…that‘s a win! 5mo

TheBookHippie @JenniferEgnor I can get this done sort of 🤣 I can get the eggs from a chicken and pick berries but I have to walk to one drive to the other 🤣🤣🤣 5mo

JenniferEgnor @TheBookHippie no one said a word about driving…go ahead and drive it like you stole it! 5mo

Every single time I shelve this book, I think it reads “Murder Cake.” 😂

This picture book has amazing illustrations that shows exactly what is going on in the book. It also uses some diversity language by calling grandma “babushka“. There is no stereotyping in this book and i love that it leaves the thunder cake recipe in the back of the book.

I would use this book in my classroom on a cloudy, stormy day. I would have the children draw pictures of their thunder cake and the ingredients to make it.

so-so

This realistic fiction picture book is a great opportunity for an author study. It‘s a story about a grandma teaching her granddaughter to bake a cake when storms come.
