Gail Gibbons puts her signature style to work as she looks at rain from a child's perspective: What is rain? Why is it necessary? Where does it come from? She takes the reader through different components of a storm, from the smallest raindrop to the loudest claps of thunder, and includes tips on how to stay safe and dry. With clear facts, simple definitions, and fascinating details, Gibbons's exploration of rain is the perfect choice for curious young readers.

Gail Gibbons "has taught more preschoolers and early readers about the world than any other children's writer-illustrator," according to the Washington Post. Winner of the 2010 Regina Award, she has written and illustrated more than fifty books for Holiday House. She lives in Corinth, Vermont.
This accessible introduction to rain-and-water cycle opens with a familiar neighborhood scene: rain starts to fall, and people put on raincoats and open umbrellas. It then moves into an exploration of the water cycle, clouds, where it rains, and types of rainfall. Each topic is covered in an illustrated spread. Bright watercolors depict interesting, child-friendly scenes. The text is brief yet descriptive while captions provide additional information or explanations of terms, such as groundwater or water vapor. Major rainstorms and floods are mentioned, as is the damage each can cause. An environmental message about the effects of pollutants is included, too. If these last pages worry some children, perhaps they will be reassured by the closing vista of a rainbow. Back matter offers tips on staying dry and safe as well as additional facts and websites. As always, Gibbons gives young readers a solid overview. Grades K-3. --Jeanne McDermott
