I had this book when I was little and loved it so much. My Mom would have to read it to me over and over again, every day. I have seen the updated version from 1997 with different pictures but I always remembered this cover and the blue pictures. It's funny what you remember from when you're little. I treasure this book and would love to have it again for nostoligic reasons. It tells where other animals go when it rains but then always gets back to the question "where does the butterfly go when it rains?" and it always made me wonder about that. I loved that about the story, that it made me think and wonder about things. I would recommend this book for any young child.

This charmingly illustrated book was mine as a child of the 1960s and always stayed with me throughout my life. Happily, my mother held on to it and I still have it in my library. It's a magical and memorable book for all ages.

read this to my kids 30 years ago... the original blue & white one... and it is one story they still recall and can recite. Will purchase the new version for them at Christmas for their kids. Wonderful!

My mother read this book to me over 35 years ago and it was always my favorite. I still have the original book with pictures by Leonard Weisgard, Young Scott Books, New York MCMLXI copyright. The book has beautiful shades of blue on every page. I plan to purchase the new version for my preschool, however I'll always treasure my original!

I am very disappointed with this version. The story itself is great, but the illustrations, to me, are chaotic. The original was beautiful and soothing. If I had seen this one before purchasing, I would have put it right back on the shelf.

The book was shipped immediately and the condition was just as described. I'm very happy with this lovely children's book that I've wanted to get since I read it in children's lit class in the 80's. This was a Caldicott winner, so it would have been helpful to have the illustrator named. I went by the publishing date instead. (I very much dislike the newer publishing of it with a different illustrator.) I'm completely pleased with this order!

This book came in a timely manner and in wonderful condition. I am pleased.

The original book if I am correct has blue and white illustrations. I owned this book until my mother either lost it or sold it for 25 cents at a garage sale. She felt so bad that she bought me the new edition which is beautiful. I am still looking for the original copy of of this book for it is fabulous!
