What's Scarier Than Thunder?

Illustrated by Kevin Cornell
For fans of I'm Not Scared, You're Scared, comes a hilarious picture book about using humor to combat fear, from actor and director Ben Falcone.

It's time for bed, but Claire can't fall asleep. There's a storm outside, and the thunder is so loud and scary! Good thing her parents are there to help. They tell Claire there's no reason to be afraid. After all, there are plenty of things that are scarier than thunder...like a scorpion named Finn who plays the violin! A snake with big fangs and uneven bangs! And a dragon named Rance with ants in his pants! The hilarious list gets more and more outsized, building on itself in the most outrageous ways possible, until Claire is giggling herself right to sleep.

Actor/Director/Writer Ben Falcone delivers a delightfully silly story—brought to bouncy life by Kevin Cornell—that reminds us that sometimes a good belly laugh is just the thing you need.
Ben Falcone is a happy dad and husband. He’s also a film director, producer, screenwriter, and actor. He’s sometimes still recognized as Air Marshal Jon from Bridesmaids, though not when he shaves his mustache. He resides in Los Angeles with his family and two dogs who don’t listen to him at all.

Kevin Cornell isn’t scared of thunder at all— just the damage a good hard rain can do to his Philadelphia home. To cope, he makes books like Chapter Two Is Missing, The Chicken Squad, and The Terrible Two.
