preschoolers, rainy weather is full of possibility. A puddle in the back yard
is just waiting for a stomp in rubber rain boots. A light drizzle is perfect
for a search-and-rescue mission for worms and snails. And watching a heavy
rainfall makes sitting inside with a warm bowl of soup all the cozier.In Rainy
Days, author Deborah Kerbel once again captures the magic of early
childhood awe and wonder with rhyming couplets that celebrate every kind of
rainy-day activity. Illustrator Miki Sato's unique tactile collage art nearly
rises from the page with fascinating features made from paper, felt, and
embroidery silk. A final page includes enriching STEM activities inquisitive
little ones. Rainy Days is the fourth book in the Weather Days
collection that includes the critically-acclaimed titles Snow Days, Sunny
Days, and Windy Days."I
cannot resist a clever bit of paper cutting, no matter how hard I want to... Layered
paper illustrations by Sato expertly provide the color you need in a book with
such gray skies."--School Library Journal, Fuse 8 "Starting
with the rain and how that can sadden kids, to finding the joy in things that
kids can still (or only) do in the rain. Taking something that might make them
sad and giving them ideas to have fun is always a good lesson for all of us,
kids and parents. The illustrations are neat and clear, with details that
enhance without distracting the reader."--Youth Services Book Review
