Description
<p>Bill Martin Jr. and John Archambault evoke the beauty and the mystery, and the sounds and the silences-- of rain.<br><br><i>Listen to the rain,</i><br><i>the whisper of the rain,</i><br><i>the slow soft sprinkle,</i><br><i>the drip-drop tinkle,</i><br><i>the first wet whisper of the rain.</i><br><br>Their marvelous ear for the melodies and rhythm of language, combined with James Endicott's spare, almost abstract paintings, have created a lyrical book with a haunting power-- perfect for reading aloud on a rainy day.<br><br>An NCTE Notable Trade Book for the Language Arts.</p>
