When Rain Falls is a soothing, lyrical journey filled with interesting facts about where animals take shelter when rain falls. The text takes us through four different habitats: a forest, a field, a wetland, and a desert. The journey ends when the rain stops, allowing readers to spot the animals in their daily activities. This is a wonderful bedtime or rainy-day book that will leave children wondering and imagining the next time rain falls.

When Rain Falls is a lovely, gentle picture book for young children. Each page tells the story of how different animals, birds and insects cope with rainy weather, accompanied by beautiful and detailed illustrations. There are three sections: "When rain falls in a forest," "When rain falls in a wetland," and "When rain falls in a desert." Kids will enjoy the creepy tarantula and bat-filled cave and enjoy the cute mallard ducks, and adults will appreciate the dragonfly-water beetle page, reminiscent of Japanese textile painting. Highly recommended for ages 3 - 7.

Ever since I read this book during a story hour program, I can't keep in on the shelf. I don't think there is any other book on this topic, and kids are fascinated to discover what other creatures do during a rainstorm. They've never thought about how rain can affect much smaller animals. The text is simple yet poetic, and the art is beautiful. I highly recommend this book.

I've looked at this book for several years and am so glad to have finally gotten it for my children and me. It's beautifully illustrated and full of great concepts and language about the animals of nature.

A beautiful, lyrical story about animals both big and small and how they cope with a rainstorm. Have you ever wondered how a fragile butterfly survives the pounding rain? Tiny ants? Wonder no more. Kids will be fascinated by this glimpse into the natural world and animal behavior. Visit the author's website, www.melissa-stewart.com, for more rainy day fun.

Perfect for my twins that are 3 yrs old. Great illustrations and a simple explainations as to where the animals hideout during the rain. I sure would love to have an older version of the same with more details of their hideouts..maybe the author will create another one in the near future! We read and re-read again & again..they love it.

This book has good illustrations and it is a beautiful childresn's book for those around 6 or 7 and under. It is not informative enough for older children.
