A fun story that introduces the water cycle and inspires children to look at rain differently.
In this rhyming picture book, two quirky raindrops, Splish and Splash, find themselves far away from their comfortable cloud. Will they discover a path that leads them home, while still enjoying the thrill of the adventure?
"Wee!" said the friends, as they started to giggle.
They swerved and they swam, then they jumped with a jiggle.
The words have a poetic beat which makes this book fun to read aloud, with beautiful illustrations that vividly capture the characters' journey.
If your little ones are curious about where rain comes from and where it ends up, this story will show them just how remarkable nature is and teach them the water cycle in a fun way. It also includes a diagram at the end to make it easier to understand the water cycle and a few practical tips to save water.
This book is a great resource for teachers or for homeschooling. It is suitable for children from three years old.
"Through hilarious illustrations and lively rhyming, two little raindrops make a huge Splish and Splash readers young and old will enjoy!
Like water in the story, the words have a lyrical flow and are pleasant to the ear. The A-B rhyming pattern, deliberately chosen, enhances the fun factor for young readers. Tu's illustrations are full of life and an absolute riot. Youngsters are sure to giggle at the hilarious expressions of the main characters".

"Water plays such an important role in sustaining life that we need to teach our children as much as we can about the water cycle and how to conserve water. Adele Lamothe understands how vital this information is and wrote a fun little book called Two Little Raindrops. The science of the water cycle is first told in easy-to-understand words and then shown in an understandable diagram.
This book is an excellent introduction to one of the most vital cycles in nature. Use this book to launch a discussion with your children about the various types of precipitation and how rain helps keep plants alive. As a former science teacher, I highly recommend this book for all children."
