Who Likes Rain?

Description

Spring brings April showers. It's time to put on a raincoat, grab your umbrella, and explore. The worms like rain, and so do the fish and frogs. But what about the cat and dog? In this lyrical picture book, one spunky little girl discovers just who likes rain-and who doesn't-as she explores the rainy day habits of the world around her. The simple text and interactive question-and-answer format make this book perfect for reading aloud with preschoolers any time of the year.

Wong Herbert Yee is the author and illustrator of many books for children, including favorites for all four seasons: Summer Days and Nights, My Autumn Book, and Tracks in the Snow. He lives with his wife and daughter in Troy, Michigan.
