(3) K-3 Illustrated by Nancy Carpenter. When the sky turns green and furious clouds spawn a twister, Lucille and Natt's mother hurries them into the cellar while she goes to help their neighbor. Dark pastel illustrations highlight the children's fear as they face the storm alone. Afterward, they find Mama safe in spite of the storm's damage. Beard's use of familiar and appealing details makes the story both secure and frighteningly believable.
