“I thought the concept of this book was great—turning what might at first be a frightening storm into a lullaby—but the interruptions in the cadence are a little too much to look past.”

“Great concept about making music from noises—including noises that can be scary—that my kids really loved. I also enjoyed it, though a few near rhymes were distracting.”
