Boom!: Big, Big Thunder & One Small Dog

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Steven Salerno. Dog Rosie's only fear is thunder; fortunately, she has "the boy she knew best" (her owner) to comfort her (he tells her that the sound is just "watermelons rolling from a watermelon truck," among other contrived explanations). That's pretty much all there is to the book, although the illustrations are brimming with warmth, and several have a winsome 1950s-retro look.
