A whimsically humorous story told in verse is complemented with funny, full-color illustrations on every page of this entertaining picture storybook. A poor little mouse stands out in the rain,... This description may be from another edition of this product.
After renewing this book twice from the library we are obliged to return it. So I am here to buy it. My 3 yr old son and I don't get tired of the twisty turny repetitions in this book which have a marvelous read-aloud beat. The vocabulary is excellent. The pacing of the book is fantastic, and it lends itself to reading with great drama and emotion: drenched animals, fright, relief, compassion, pity, laugher, hope, surprise... and the illustrations are spot on. Engaging, expressive, funny, touching. Highly recommended, especially with hot soup on a rainy day!

My 3-year old daughter loves this book. It's perfectly repetitive, and it's a great message. A great gift.
Delightful!

My 2-year-old daughter would listen to this book a dozen times a day, and it's likewise MY favorite book to read aloud. A few weeks ago, I put it away to give it a rest. When I pulled the book out yesterday and started to read it, she gave it a hug and said "I love this book!"
Fun & Charming

This is a great rhyming book for children, and I found it very fun to read to my son at bedtime. The language is silly, but it has a delightful cadence and rhythm. The illustrations are big and dynamic, with lots of interesting detail. I highly recommend this book for bedtime, or just reading time; its great.
