The Storm by Anne Rockwell is a children's book that tells a realistic story about a horrible thunderstorm hitting a young girl's house by the sea. I would label this book as realistic because since most of the states experience thunderstorms, this story could have actually happened to many people. Though it is good to write about stories that actually could have happened, this story seems too typical; therefore, my interest was lost. I think it is good to write about things that kids could relate to; however, this story seemed too common. Nothing in the story caught my attention, or surprised me. Even though this was not my favorite book, I could see how a student would enjoy this book if they lived in a desert or in a country that did not get a lot of rain. This story would then seem unique, and it may strike their interest more.
