A girl waits for the rain, and when it starts, she gets all dressed to go out in it - even puts the dog in a raincoat. Puddles, splashing, playing tin he water running down the curb. And then, the animals who love the rain come out - frogs, worms, and snails. The rain waters the flowers and the tress. But lightning and thunder chase them back inside, until the storm is over, then there's all new adventures to be had in the glistening sunshine. 

So much onomatopoeia made this a delightful book! This little girl loves everything about the rain, her delight made me so happy. Great illustrations highlight the poetic text. A marvelous read aloud.
