This is a great example of a poetry book. It has a wonderfully descriptive rhyming poem about the sounds of rain. The flow of the words is lovely from page to page.

Listen as the raindrops fall. Listen as the thunder and lightening comes. Learn as you read all the different types of rain and rain storms that exist and what happens when the rain comes. A wonderful book written in rhyme!

The book describes how rain starts from beginning to end. A cycle that starts out slow and soft then BOOM it's raining. Then, all of a sudden, ends slow and softly again with everything fresh and clean or new again.

I think this would be a great book for head start kids as well as into possibly kindergarden or first grade levels because the time it took to read was short. I also feel an added implement like a rain maker (that is an instrument from the southwest Indian Tribes) would add an ambience to the reading. Even having some of the kids participate in the story by using musical instruments (cymbals or rattles) would be a great experience for them and fun.
