| "When rain falls, children go indoors, but what do the animals do? A simple text and gentle watercolor illustrations, organized by habitat, reveal how in forests, fields, wetlands and deserts 22 different species respond. ... the information, though simple, is accurate [and] should appeal to very young listeners curious about the natural world." |
| “Stewart elaborates on how various animals react to rain in different habitats: a forest, a field, a wetland, and a desert. The examples are clearly presented and interesting (e.g., squirrels use their bushy tails like umbrellas, hawks puff up feathers to keep warm). Bergum’s well-rendered watercolors will facilitate group sharing ... a good choice for rainy-day sharing or to introduce a weather unit.” |
| “Although the simple writing is intended as an introduction to the topic, the gorgeous watercolor illustrations will entertain the adults expected to turn the pages.” |
