review 1: I love the sounds of the words in this book, and how the author uses them to describe the sound and feel of rain and mud. Use it to talk with parents about phonological awareness, the ability to hear the smaller sounds in words. Pair it with "Move Over Rover" by Karen Beaumont for a wet and rainy preschool storytime. Follow them up with an activity where the children make the sounds of the rainstorm: Rub hands together, snap fingers, clap hands, slap thighs, stomp feet, slap thighs, clap hands,snap fingers, rub hands, and finally hands on lap.
review 2: Ok, as an adult I dislike rain and rainy days. However, as a child I liked nothing better than to be playing in summer rain, mud etc. After a severe summer storm would pass I wanted outside to see where t... morehe puddles where, how the wet grass felt. This book evoked all those memories and I loved it. The author and illustrator have done a great job creating what this experience is like. Here's to more children having this wonderful sensory exploration. It's great fun. less
