About this title

From School Library Journal:

PreSchool-K?Dennis is a kind and good monster who is afraid of thunder. He decides to frighten the storm away by banging on pots and pans. Meanwhile, a frightened young rabbit hears the storm and thinks it's a monster hitting a pan. When Mother Rabbit attempts to prove that it's only thunder, they encounter a smiling Dennis. While young readers will probably enjoy the twist at the end, the writing seems to be off by a beat. A pleasant enough story, but the text lacks excitement and the pen-and-ink watercolors are sketchy and slightly washed out.?Christine A. Moesch, Buffalo and Erie County Public Library, NY
