Rain : What Is It ?
By Jeanette Rowe and Louise Park
Parhan Vic. : Hardy Grant Egmont, 2008.
1 vol. (unpaged) : col.ill.; 16 x 19cm.

A very simple explanation of the water cycle in story form. SmarytCat and his friend Chook the Chicken discuss where water is found and what makes it rain. The simple story, often with only one short sentence per page is enhanced by the animals innocent humour.
Primary colours, clear, fun illustrations and happy expressions combine well with the text in this engaging story.
An added extra is the 'making rain' activity at the end of the story.
