"The various sounds that rain makes are explored in this poetic picture book. A young child hears the 'first fat raindrops' fall on 'the soft summer dust of a country road.' . . . The freedom, joy, and warmth of the illustrations make this book a pure delight. A perfect rainy-day read-aloud that will be hard to keep on the shelf".--School Library Journal.
