Synopsis

A young child creates imaginary animals in the rain—Cheetah clings to his umbrella as a gust of wind tries to take it away, Lion opens his mouth wide to drink the falling raindrops, and Lady Butterfly hurries home as she attempts to not get her wings too wet—until Daddy appears with an interesting surprise. The soft and simple pencil drawings bring these animals made of water to life and make this story enjoyable time and time again.

 

Un niño joven crea los animales imaginarios en la lluvia—Guepardo se aferra a su paraguas mientras un viento intenta robarlo, León abre su boca para beber las gotas de agua y la Dama Mariposa se apura a su casa mientras intenta no mojarse tanto—hasta que Papá aparece con una sorpresa interesante. Las líneas suaves y simples con lápices hacen vivos estes animales de gotas de agua y crean una historia que se puede gozar muchas veces.

From School Library Journal:

PreSchool-Grade 1–This endearing story takes place one dark and stormy day. A leopard is hiding under an umbrella, a lion is thirstily drinking the rain, a butterfly is tiptoeing along, a tyrannosaurus is splashing in puddles, a tiger is waiting in a cave, a dragon is sending the rain, and Dad...well, what he is doing is revealed at the end. The book is perfect for storytime. The short, repetitive sentences will help children predict activities, and they'll be delighted with the unexpected ending. The deceptively simple cartoon art is done mainly in monochromatic pencil with subtle dabs of watercolor, and each spread varies in perspective and intensity. Children will identify with the characters' humorous actions and eagerly engage in a discussion about their favorite rainy-day activities.–Ana Rodriguez, Tamarac Elementary School, FL END
