I loved this cute little book. A very friendly book with lots of love floating around. My kids went straight to the art table and made themselves valentines to give to other people even though it is april!

This is a good book for 3rd grade and younger. It would be good to read on Valentine's Day. Students could all make a valentine, and the teacher could help them actually mail the letters to the correct locations.

I enjoyed reading the cute story, "Day it Rained Hearts." The story was about the day it rained hearts and this little girl caught all the hearts she could. She went home and make all the hearts into Valentine's gifts for her friends. This book is a very good book to use around Valentine's day.

Also this is a good book to use with children when discussing the difference in fantasy and realistic.

What else do you do when it begins to rain hearts?! You make Valentines of course, and that's exactly what Cornelia Augusta does.

LibraryThing member Jennah2010

This story is a great story for around Valentine's day but it is also wonderful because it talks about how every heart that the girl caught was different. This idea is what makes this book so good for in the classroom because it could then lead into a discussion on how every person is unique but

still we are all important. I think this book is perfect for students in 4k-2nd grade.

This story is about a young girl who catches hearts while they rain out of the sky, then makes valentines for her friends. It shows how special our friends are to us and how they are all different. This is a great book to read around Valentine's Day to remind kids that it's nice to share things,

not jut receive. I would read this story to pre-k-fifth grade classes.

When it suddenly starts to rain hearts in this miniature picture-book from 1983, young Cornelia Augusta realizes that Valentine's Day must be close, and, taking advantage of the downpour, gathers the little red objects to her. Making Valentines from the windfall, she mails her missives of love to

her friends, spreading the spirit of the holiday far and wide...

Although familiar with Felicia Bond's name, through the illustrations she contributed to the blockbuster picture-book series begun in If You Give a Mouse a Cookie, this little volume is the first of her own titles I have picked up. First published as Four Valentines in a Rainstorm (the edition I read), it was reprinted in 2002 as The Day It Rained Hearts, and has remained in print under that title. I found it a sweet little book, appreciating its whimsical story and simple but expressive art. It is a small book, which no doubt adds to its charm. Recommended to picture-books looking for matter-of-factly magical Valentine's Day stories.
