It’s time to put on your rain gear for a rainy-day romp!

This is a non-story about a little girl exploring what living things like and don't like the rain.
I really enjoyed the illustrations of this book. What stands out is Yee's use of white space. You can really appreciate what he chose to draw and what he didn't and how he uses little window-like pictures to help a reader guess what's on the next page.
I used it with my cat-themed storytime even though a cat is only on one page. I don't think the storytime audience noticed!

The layout of this storybook is nice because each page has a rhyming description of some creature that likes the rain, but you don't find out what the animal is until the next page. So, basically, each time you turn the page there's a little surprise.
I wish the illustrations were a bit more exciting. They weren't quite bright enough to capture my baby's attention. However, the house in the book looks a lot like our house, which was a fun little touch.

This is a about things that happens when it rains. It gives examples of animals that do like the rain and animals who do not like rain.
This would be a cute read aloud in the spring. I would would use it with PrK or Kindergarten students.

Precious book with delicate chalk illustrations with a little girl who ventures out in the rain, dressed in her yellow slicker and boots, asking and answering the question, "Who Likes Rain?"
This book is good for younger kids because it is rich with rhymes and repetition of sounds. It's about a young girl exploring the sights and sounds of rain. Illustrations are pretty neat too.
This book shows kids that we need the rain and that some things and animals actually enjoy the rain. It also shows what doesn't like the rain. It's a really cute story!
This book feels like a classic, deceptively simple and yet elegant in it's telling. The illustrations are beautiful and fit the text perfectly. I wish it were larger.
Fun to read - my daughter likes to "guess" who likes the rain on each page (although she knows since we've read it like 20 times). Nice rhymes, cute pictures.
Cute, sweet book with great rain sounds. Also a nice positive spin on gloomy days. Lucy wanted to read it twice today!
"Who likes rain even more than a duck?
More than a frog n the muckety-muck?"
A little girl explores on a rainy day!

This was the sleeper hit at my Rain storytime. The rhyming riddles were a fun challenge for the prereaders.
Who likes rain? I do!!! And I'm so happy to have found a book that feels the same way!
My girls picked this one up again and again. We are definite puddle-jumping fans.
Cute, but Madelyn preferred "I Love The Rain" by Margaret Park Bridges
This is a really sweet book best read in the springtime.
I wish this was available in a larger format for use during storytime. It's beautifully written and the illustrations are gorgeous. I would still be tempted to use it for storytime so long as the group wasn't too large.
Cute. Way too young for Book Time. Fun rhyming and cute pictures. Good for a younger story time and lap-sit read as well.
This book was adorable, a perfect read-a-loud book and perfect for where I live.
