The Storm Audiobook

" Nothing too engrossing here, but a cute enough little story. "

" The beginning, how a lonely light house keeper, decided to become a light house keeper. How her duties were the thing that brought her companianship and a family. "

" Great story, beautiful illustrations. We will be reading more in this series. "

" I mentioned this in my review for The Whale. The Storm is the 1st book in the Lighthouse Family Series by Cynthia Rylant. "

" We liked this enough to go on to the second book, "The Whales." They are gentle, lovely stories with beautiful illustrations. Rylant's short chapters end fetchingly, so E never wants me to stop. But I would not call them suspenseful or even quickly paced. "

" Lovely story by one of our favorite children's authors. Good for early elementary read alone or a good read together. I love her use of language--so gentle and interesting at the same time. "

" This is the first book in the series but we read The Whale and it isn't really necessary to do it in order. It was fun for my daughter and I to read about how the family first came about. "

" Such a lovely series - Rylant is the true workhorse of children's fiction. "

" We checked this book out after visiting a lighthouse in Currituck, NC. "

" I read this aloud to my 5 year old and we both thoroughly enjoyed the adventure. This is actually the first book in the series. Rylant is very descriptive and creates wonderful pictures through her words. The illustrations are fabulous also. "

" Cute story that is well paced for a beginner/intermediate reader. I would of loved this story as a kid. It's a chapter book that is simple but not overly simple. I think this makes a great reader for little kids. "

" A very sweet story, with beautiful illustrations. I'll be sharing this one with my kiddos! "

" Loved this. Just read it to the kids. What a sweet story, and adoption tale to boot. "

" Sweet story, Carson enjoyed it & so did I. Thanks Aunt Lorna! "

" This was our 2nd/3rd grade book group selection. It is a sweet story with lovely illustrations. Quite old-fashioned. Everyone (even the boys) really enjoyed it. I was surprised at how much they liked it, since I thought it was almost too sickeningly sweet! "

" This is the first of a series of five. They are not exactly riveting for adults, but they are a good choice for very first chapter book to try reading. The chapters are very short, the language is quite simple but not babyish, and the stories are completely straighforward. "

" I liked the story because the characters are sweet and cute. "

" Lighthouse Family series for easy readers is about a lonely cat lighthouse keeper that saves a sailor dog and the friendship that develops. "

" Very sweet story about friendships. The plot of the story is not terribly frightening and makes for an excellent early read-aloud. I read it to our then four year-old. Other books follow in the series of the Lighthouse family. "

" Nice read aloud for children ages 4 and up. Easy reading--super short chapters. Sweet little characters--eventful and exciting. "

" Loved this one, but much less impressed with the following in the series. "

" Sweet read aloud with wonderful $5 words. Loved it for the use of vocabulary & thoughtful characters. "

" Great story, beautiful illustrations. We will be reading more in this series. "
