Customer Reviews

charming!

My kids adore this book. Cute rhymes, and the illustrations are fun as well. Get "Tracks in the Snow" to go with it- they are basically a set.

creative little book for rainy days

Rainy days are fun too! Creative book. Lets children guess what animal is next by clues.

Who doesn't love playing in the rain?!

This story is about a little Asian girl's day during a rainy morning or afternoon in April. The book is lots of fun because of the rhyming words and also fun words that the author chose to describe the raindrops like ping-ping-ping of the rainy hitting the awning,Gurlge, Gurgle it goes down the water spout, pitty-plip-plop, pitty-pat-splat the rain drops I caught in my hat, and run-a-tum-tum raindrops on my umbrella! Not only are the illustrations nice, the rhyming fun but there is also a little game of guess the animal by the sound it makes. This is a cute book for young children. And it helps to remind us adults remember a rainy day and all the fun we had exploring jumping in puddles, making little stick dams, catching the rain on our tongues and just listening to the sounds / music the rain makes. Hopefully it will also inspire us to take our little ones out to play in the rain, to explore and to listen to the music the rain makes! Enjoy!!!!
