Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Grade 2-4?This newly illustrated edition of Rain and Hail (Crowell, 1983) is a concise and informative look at the water cycle. Branley provides a fundamental understanding of how water is recycled, how clouds are formed, and why rain and hail occur. A few easy science activities are included. Words that might be unfamiliar to readers are defined in context. The pen-and-ink with watercolor wash paintings clearly interpret the concepts presented on each page. Throughout the book, speech bubbles from a group of children provide further clarification. This beginning reader would be especially useful to elementary teachers, but will also fill a niche for young researchers.?Stephani Hutchinson, Pioneer Elementary School, Sunnyside, WA

Product Description

5.0 out of 5 stars Where Does It Come From?, April 9, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Down Comes the Rain (Let's-Read-and-Find-Out Science 2) (Paperback)
Down Comes The Rain is an excellent book that introduces to young children the formation of rain and where it actually comes from. It also discusses the transformation of water into ice and also the evaporation of water. Children can understand the book through its simple terms and colorful illustrations. Rain is just one of the many things that young children often wonder about. It is a very good book that can be added to any elementary classroom when discussing a unit on weather or simply to have at home to read togther on rainy days! Many hands-on activities, such as putting a teaspoon of water into a saucer and coming back to see that it has evaporated into the air, can be done by using this book. I have added this book to my list that I plan to use in the classroom!

4.0 out of 5 stars Nice book for young children on the water cycle, July 23, 2008
This review is from: Down Comes the Rain (Let's-Read-and-Find-Out Science 2) (Paperback)
This is a nice book to read aloud to those in the range of 4-8 years, and could be read by a 2nd-grader. The book does a good job explaining the water cycle, condensation, evaporation, the formation of clouds, hail, etc. It's easy to understand and enjoyable to read. The illustrations are wonderful also. There are practical illustrations and activity suggestions, like putting a teaspoon of water on a plate to evaporate, boiling water on the stove, or filling a glass of water with ice to away condensation.

I'd recommend this as a good book on the topic for anyone with preschoolers or early elementary age children; it's a nice addition to our homeschooling library. My only gripe is that it's mentioned that water vapor in clouds can turn into rain and into hail, but there's not even a passing mention of snowflakes.

This review is from: Down Comes the Rain (Let's-Read-and-Find-Out Science 2) (Paperback)
This is a nice book. My son is still too young for it (4 yr old). But He can read it in couple of years.
