BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3) - OPTIONAL
AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE
The storm has been raging for days. This family of four is stuck inside all together, and they’re getting sick of each other.
Yaccarino simplifies the struggles of quarantine for young readers by talking about a family being stuck inside because of a long thunderstorm. The climax is relatable with the struggles we, as a world community, are currently facing, but the ambiguous ending feels too vague for the target audience to make personal connections with in the same way.
