Beautifully designed! The "rain" pouring down in the pictures is composed of the word itself, over and over.

I enjoyed the simplicity of this book. The bright colors, limited words, and simplistic images were attention grabbers. My son is 18 months and many of the words in the book are words that he knows so he could point to the clouds, car, sun, trees and tell me what they were. I really like that the word rain is used as both text and imagery. This will be a book that he can grow with abs some day read to me.

I really like this, but I'm a bit confused with the art style. It feels very basic, but little ones sometimes enjoy basic. Anyhow, the idea of rain falling in words from the sky is very unique from anything else we have in our room. It's almost like concrete poetry. The little boy I read with like it, and enjoyed saying "rain rain rain rain rain rain" every page. We got to the end where he said "FINALLY. It's over!" (meaning the rain, not the book). Rainbow greeted us, and we were done.

Yup. It's a cool thing to explore together.
