Illustrated by
Patrick O'Brien.
These poems examine storms from a variety of angles. Subjects include the prognosticative abilities of grandfather's toe, the differing reactions of dogs and cats, and the mysterious "Storm Man" who steals sleep away as he flashes lightning from his fingers. The tone varies with each poem, from witty to atmospheric. Illustrations carefully capture both the subject and mood of each piece.
