Earthquake in Oklahoma! Shake, Rattle and Roll!

Did any of you feel the earthquake late Saturday night! I did! I was in Oklahoma and it was pretty exciting. I had never been in a earthquake before and was suprised by how much noise there was! It sounded like really loud, rumbling thunder.

I made this list of books about earthquakes that we have in the Children's Department. Come in and check one out!
