5.0 out of 5 stars
Wonderful for teaching colors!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Rain (Library Binding)
This easy to read book has predictable and repetitive language. It teaches colors as well as everyday objects. It is a great book for young readers!

Learning to read with color and clues,
By Christopher Tracton (Montreal, Quebec, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Rain (Paperback)
My daughter is using this book now to learn how to read. She enjoys it very much... especially because the coloration of the text to match the images in the picture gives her clues about what the words are.I think the book is neat from its style (using the word "rain" written on an angle to be the rain) and its vibrant use of colour.

Striking Imagery,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Rain (Paperback)
This little book is beautifully illustrated and colorful. The "rain" falls as words and each color, object and word is graphically illustrated as part of the landscape on which the rain falls. It's a lovely introduction to reading for a small child. I'd recommend it for toddlers who are beginning to recognize visuals and wanting to start to read. Very imaginative piece of work.
