Filled with all the sounds of water in nature as the rain comes and goes and leaves a rainbow and sunshine.

The perfect quiet ending to a storytime. ( )

I think because this is such a wonderful read for a story time it makes me like it more than it might 'deserve'. I do think it has the potential to be a catalyst for several science, music, and English discussions. The nature sounds and rhyming work so well for the flow Drip Drop Plip Plop. It's a cute and whimsical story-love seeing the foxes being curious and playful. Watercolor illustrations provide a vivid visual of the landscape, the living creatures, and the changing scenes.
Great back matter: 'Listen to the watersong'.
This picture book simply makes me feel good, makes me smile. ( )

Each page has one to three words that can describe the sound of water, such as “spitter, spatter, splat”. It is a wonderful example of onomatopoeia! The words are not sight words but I can see the book being a welcome change from unattractive or oversimplified easy readers that are boring for young readers.
