Who Likes Rain?

Submitted by Ms. Catherine!
Who likes rain? I do! I like this book too. Wong Herbert Yee’s Who Likes Rain tells the story of a little girl who starts a rainy day inside. As she listens to the “pit-pit-pit” and the “pitty-plip-PLOP” of the rain outside, she begins to explore, and finds out who likes the rain, and who doesn’t. This book is great on so many levels. Yee’s illustrations are soft, yet eye catching. The blending of colors make it look like it’s really raining, and the expressions of the little girl, going from gloomy, to delighted with the rain, are adorable. The book also presents opportunities for interactive reading with your child. The rhyming and rhythm of the rain make it an excellent book to read aloud, and there are chances for you and your child to predict what will happen next in the story, as you go along. Every other page gives clues as to what animals like the rain. And if you have a rainy day yourself, why not follow the example of the book, and discover the puddles in your own front yard?
