"Drip drop splash went the rain all day." There were so many raindrops they made a puddle that grew larger and larger until it became a pond and spilled right over into a lake that grew larger and larger until it overflowed into a river and finally joined the sea.

This is a perfect book to give a restless child on a rainy day—or a happy child on a sunny day. The brief text is poetic in pattern and mood and within the imaginative range and experience of the three to six year old. And Leonard Weisgard's pictures of drenched landscapes wih baby animals, and wet flowers and ferns have a freshness and newness of the world seen through the eyes of a child.
