Book Review – Rainy day favourites!

May 8, 2013momstownRecessNo comments
momstown has seen a lot of rain this spring! Let’s celebrate with some great books designed to celebrate rain and all that it brings to nature in the springtime.

 

 

the rain stomper

 

The Rain Stomper by Addie Boswell

Jazmin is a cheerleader who can’t wait to march in the big parade. However, when rain and wind threaten the parade, Jazmin decides she will become a rain stomper and make the best of the weather. Great text echoing the action of the story: “slap, clatter, bam, bash, boom walla, bang, crash” as Jazmin outstomps the rain.

 

who likes rain

Who Likes Rain? by Wong Herbert Lee

Rhyming text takes the reader through ‘who likes rain?’ like the flowers, the trees, the ducks, the worms, the frogs – and the little girl who has fun jumping in the puddle. Cute illustrations and simple text.

 

ten little raindrops

 

10 Little Raindrops by Leroy Comrie

Kevin counts from one to ten as raindrops fall on him – but he keeps playing in the park until the sun is shining. The rain drops become Kevin’s friends as they are illustrated with little faces on them. Written in rhyming text, this is also a good counting practice book!

 

mushroom in the rain

 

Mushroom in the Rain by Mirra Ginsburg

A little ant gets caught in the rain, and finds a mushroom to hide under. His friend butterfly joins him, then mouse, sparrow, and rabbit. They hide rabbit from the fox chasing him, while they wait out the rain until the sun comes out. Ant can’t figure out how they all hid under such a small mushroom, until frog reminds him what mushrooms do in the rain! (they GROW!)

 

water baby

 

Water Baby by Fiona Watt (Usborne books)

Touch-and-feel board book depicts baby having fun with water – in a turtle pool, on the beach, in the bath, watering the garden, and doing lots of splish splash sploshing!

 

Enjoy these great reads – and hopefully we'll all be outside in the rain, mud and sprinklers soon!
